[QUOTE="PaulaJedi, post: 91142, member: 4272"] Animals do have language capabilities, although not as highly developed as humans. "A language development test, for example, reveals that the average dog can learn about 165 words, similar to the capacity of a 2-year old child." I can't seem to find any information on it, but cats develop their own, personal language for communication. Cats have their own meows, growls, and body language to communicate. Thinking that can take place without language could probably be found in a gold fish. He may receive a hunger signal and search for food. The search for food would be a type of thinking, however, a goldfish doesn't communicate with anything or anybody... or does it? Is the goldfish asking for food when he swims to the top of the bowl when a human walks by, or is it just a biological response? I guess we'd need to do research to find out if creatures like goldfish have the capability of mental imagery. If they do, that would answer your question about thinking without language. [/QUOTE]
