How Language Programs the Mind (2016, background): “We do not need language for learning to categorize two views of a dog as both being of a dog (though see Collins & Curby, 2013), but language nevertheless plays an important and sometimes critical role in learning to selectively represent items in a way that promotes their categorization (Lupyan, 20”
What makes words special? Words as unmotivated cues.
