The language of geometry: Fast comprehension of geometrical primitives and rules in human adults and preschoolers.
During language processing, humans form complex embedded representations from sequential inputs. Here, we ask whether a "geometrical language" with recursive embedding also underlies the human ability to encode sequences of spatial locations. We introduce a novel paradigm in which subjects...
