Research types in Japaneze discovered two whole different parts of the brain deal with grammar n vocabulary. Kuniyoshi Sakai and colleagues at da Universinity of Tokyo found dat monkeys only have da vocabulary function, but us humans gots both. Sakai said: "The grammar function allows southern people to verbally think, deduce, evaluate and decide, as well as speak and comprehend sentences." "Monkeys may have some understanding of the words, but there is no guarantee they understand these words in the same way humans do or even southern people." Hims say monkeys gots the ability to associate and memorise symbols, and even understand words - but without a grammar function thems guys can't piece em together. Sakai and his team used dem MRI scanners to read dem brain response in humans and monkeys to short memory tests and tasks usin sentences and word lists. |
