Do We Think in Words?
We're always up for a challenge on CrowdScience but this week\u2019s question, which comes from an artist, tests our limits as we investigate the nature of thought itself \u2013 something that has puzzled scientists and philosophers since ancient times.\n \nUndeterred, presenter Nastaran Tavakoli-Far heads off to the Spanish island of Ibiza to visit listener Romanie in her painting studio and attempt to peer into the workings of her mind. As we explore the relationship between thought and language, why not join in with our experiments to discover if you\u2019re thinking visually or verbally?\n \nWe find out how language can affect thinking in surprising ways \u2013 why German speakers might see a bridge differently from Spanish speakers, how being bilingual can make you a better driver and even why some languages give their speakers a remarkable sense of direction.
