I have an article on the Scientific American website (part of the Mind Matters blog) this week. It's on the relationship between language and thought. Check it out.

On the subject of the article

I think the key is not memory, but abstraction in general. We can think visually and maybe in other ways, but we can't really imagine 17, only think of one of its symbolic representations, such as its verbal name, or the Arabic numeral.

Good, thought-provoking
