How Does Language Influence Thought? (Intro Psych Tutorial #87)

www.psychexamreview.com
In this video I consider the relationship between language and thought. The Whorf-Sapir hypothesis, or linguistic relativity hypothesis, suggests that one's language influences one's perception of the world. While evidence is mixed on just how language influences thought, there are other ways of examining the complex relationship between language, thought, and culture. It's possible to consider how language influences thought within an individual (such as a bilingual individual) or how language influences thought within a language (such as whether Orwellian newspeak influences perception). We've already seen how language can influence memory (Loftus and Palmer's car crash study) and in a future video we'll see how language may influence decision-making.
