"Interestingly, there’s also a considerable body of research about how different American and Chinese/Japanese perceive information."
There's an interesting point here. Stephen Toulmin once mentioned (unfortunately without giving a reference I know of) a difference in visual perception between Anglophones and those who live in huts. (I unfortunately can't remember the exact difference he pointed out, but I think it had something to do with how Anglophones live around rectangular buildings and identify something rectangular as a disinct group of information?)
There was also a recent study indicating that people who grew up with different languages hear music and melodies differently too. https://twitter.com/courtneybhilton/status/1651325190696210432 https://twitter.com/courtneybhilton/status/16513251906962104...
