Sure! I know that math is not the same thing as verbal/main language, but I am curious how it works...savants...another story...also, just because someone doesn't speak doesn't mean they aren't exposed to language. and concepts. yeah?
I don't know a lot about the brain and math. I know a little - kind of what I picked up concerning literacy and the brain - but not a lot. And of course I've read some of George Lakoff.
Math and language uses some of the same parts of the brain, but your left temporal lobe is is extremely complex...so...I donno. I thought that Everett couldn't even teach them numbers when he tried? Maybe he couldn't. Maybe they didn't want a white dude teaching them new shit.
Who knows?
