Does thought depend crucially on language, as some philosophers maintain, or can abstract reasoning and other faculties exist in the absence of language? This voume, based on a Fyssen Foundation symposium held in Versailles in April 1987, addresses this crucial question in a new way, bringing together experts on non-verbal thinking in adults, in pre-linguistic infants, and in animals. The nineteen chapters, discussion and editorial comment represent an impressive body of material, shedding new light on many aspects of the problem. Topics covered include the role of the non-verbal right cerebral hemisphere in humans; the investigation of non-verbal aspects of various categories of cognition (such as abstract reasoning, spatial awareness, and pattern recognition); evidence for cognition without concious awareness; and neurological and developmental evidence. The concluding chapter is a personal account by a gifted but dyslexic mathematician of the nature of his handicap and the non-vebal reasoning that he has developed to cope with this. various
Introduction. Part 1 Emergence and instruction: the origins of
referential communication in human infancy; the Ontogenesis of different
types of thought language and motor behaviours as non-specific
manifestations; minds with and without language. Part 2 Categorical
perception: functional organization of visual recognition; face perception
and the right hemisphere; stimulus generalization and the acquisition of
categories by pigeons. Part 3 The Ontogeny of perceptual and casual
knowledge: the origins of physical knowledge; perception and thought in
infancy; an information-processing approach to infant cognitive development.
Part 4 Implicit processing and intentionality: dissociation between implicit
and explicit knowledge in neuropsychological syndromes; what can the bird
brain tell us about thought without language?; intentionality in animal
conditioning. Part 5 Shapes, space and memory: differences between adult and
infant cognition; animal spatial cognition; primate cognition of space and
shapes. Part 6 Verbal/non-verbal interaction and independence: the dynamics
of cerebral specialization and modular interactions; cognitive function in
severe aphasia; language without thought. Part 7 Dyslexia and a
mathematician's experience: a personal view. Afterthoughts.
