How does this relate to the article?
- FredPret 3y agoThe article says "almost all of this technical thing is in English and that's bad". I'm saying "no it's good"
- jamil7 3y agoThe headline says that, the article is different. It's saying most research studies done on the mind are done on English-speaking participants.
- FredPret 3y agoServes me right for skimming the headlines!
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoThat's the argument, but I'm not sure it makes sense. Unless you're studying the difference in people's minds given language differences, it makes more sense to study a common language, otherwise language differences will color the results, making comparisons difficult or impossible.
- nemetroid 3y agoYes, it's easier to study just one language. But it limits your ability to make universal, language-independent, conclusions about the mind.
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoIt's a counterpoint to the notion that having a single common language for something is a negative.
