Your discussion about human's

Submitted by Congwen Wang on Sun, 01/31/2010 - 11:24pm.

Your discussion about human's language ability reminds me of William's syndrome. Patients with William's syndrome often show an IQ roughly equals to that of little children's. However, they are usually highly verbal and can write sentences in a fairly sophiscated manner.  From what they show us, it seems that forming structured language does not necessarily require a strong ability of thinking.
