Nature of Intelligence, Ep. 2: The relationship between language and thought
Complex language is unique to the human species. It\u2019s part of how we evolved, the backbone of our societies, and one of the primary ways we judge others\u2019 intellect. Is it our intelligence that leads to our language abilities, or conversely, does our ability for language enhance our intelligence, or both? How do language and thinking interact? And can one exist without the other? Guests: Evelina Federenko, Steve Piantadosi, and Gary Lupyan.
