Our spatial awareness of the spatial world affects every
aspect of our development, including our language and social interactions. It
may seem like an odd thought that our language and social relationships hinge
on our perception of space. What at first may seem like a bizarre idea may
become clearer if we look at the language we use when interacting with
others. Our English language uses spatial words to discuss our relationship with others. For example:
Young
people need to find themselves.
We have
to face ourselves.
We get around
what others say.
We should try and stand in his or her shoes.
We need
to into another’s perspective.
We may
need a go between.
We stand behind our friends.
The italicized words are at their root about space.
Because our development in space is such a fundamental one, it is sometimes
difficult to see how much we depend on it. It is only when we experience those
with a lack of body sense development that we can understand.
The direct developmental link of the reflexes to body sense awareness in the parietal lobe and its interaction with the Wernicke's area of speech processing is the quickest way to improve language processing issues.
