Drawing on evidence from neurobiology, cognitive science and corpus linguistics, MIT researchers make the case that language is a tool for communication, not for thought.
There have been studies suggesting prefrontal synthesis (the ability to consciously construct novel mental images) doesn’t develop in humans unless they learn a language before the age of five or so.
How does that work for aphantasia?
It makes perfect sense because A Fantasia doesn’t have any words, just A Mickey Mouse dancing A fucking Broom and shit.
