Give a non-linguistic, untrained kitten a ball of yarn & it will play with the ball to the exclusion of everything else. Later if it catches a mouse, it will exhibit this same behavior. Give a pre-linguistic, untrained infant a novel toy & s/he will treat it similarly, as an integrated whole. If it is dropped among other things, it will be picked out. Put the infant in a room with a climbing structure & a mural of that same structure, the infant will only try to climb the former. Doesn't that show s/he is thinking of them differently? Craig
