This is still the distinction, it seems to me, between that eighteenth-century concept of the _understanding_ and that of _reason_; and it is not hard to imagine a more general indistinction between the spatial and the spoken, before, in the course of more precise attention to the sensorium, these modes of perception are distinguished from each other.” (Jameson 2023, p. 39). from BA thesis you reviewed: “The hypothesis of neural reuse allows them to make this expansion. Neural reuse is a hypothesis initially proposed by Dehaene and Cohen (2007) who argues cognitive processes initially aimed at one purpose are often reused to fulfil different functions.  This takes place both on an evolutionary and developmental timescale. Broca’s area, now known for its function of speech production, originally corresponds to a motoric area, as it still is for our closest animal relatives.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10648437/ https://www.edge.org/memberbio/stanislas_dehaene Math and spatial reasoning: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B978012394388000006X https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364661306001872 language and spatial orientation: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010028507000357
