In this article, the author explains the important aspect of how language can hold the answer.
It is proven that language helps us learn novel categories, and it licenses our unusual ability to operate on an abstract plane, Dr. Lupyan said. The problem is that after a category has been learned, it can distort the memory of specific objects, getting between us and the rest of the non-abstract world.
So I defiantly agree with the findings of Dr.Lupyan and believe language plays a vital role as a connection to our sense perception.
