Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that while language can shape some aspects of cognition, such as categorization and memory recall, other cognitive processes such as decision making and problem solving may be less influenced by language. Additionally, different languages and cultures may have different terms or concepts for certain cognitive processes, indicating the influence of language on cognition may vary based on cultural and linguistic factors. Therefore, it is likely that some aspects of thinking are more vulnerable to language influence than others. Options A and D are incorrect because they present extreme and inaccurate statements, and Option B is incorrect as research has found evidence of language affecting cognition in various ways.
