Or when adding/subtracting number approximately: e. g. 20 dots vs. 21 dots: when comparing numbers exactly. Or when adding/subtracting numbers exactly: e. g. Finding: munduruku much worse than westerners (unless the numbers are < 4-5) Without number, you don"t have the concept, number gives you access to the concept. Spatial categorization in english and korean: in/on vs kkita. Examined the development of tight/loose fit categories in an english speaking environment. 5-month-old infants habituated to loose-in condition and tight-in condition. In test trials they either get loose-fit event or tight-fit event. Expectation is that if they get habituated to loose-in condition they dishabituates to the tight-fit event (opposite) Found that in babies are sensitive to this, and if they are habituated to loose-in, they dishabituates to tight-fit. Infants in english environment make distinctions similar to those of korean speakers. However, english adults no longer readily distinguish tight vs. loose fit (because they don"t lexicalize these concepts)
