IsThe World Made Up of Nouns or Verbs?

This chapter starts with two 'tests'. I was Eastern on the first test, Western on the second.hmmm.
In the next test, there was a picture of imaginary creatures. what confused me was the absence of 'the curly tail' during the training period. Maybe that makes things complicated.

on page 148, the author starts..'How is it possible that Easterners today have relatively little interest in categories , find it hard to learn new categories by applying rules about properties and make spontaneous use of them for purposes of induction?'

this overlooks the fact that many eminent scientists in the field today are Japanese.

Its true that Japanese people use verbs more than Westerners, who prefer nouns.

The examples the writer uses are very convincing.

The author also favours the western method assuming that the world is relatively stable. However, the world we live in today is subtly changing , and maybe western thought just cannot cope with the changes. so maybe eastern thought is superior......
