La investigación realizada en la Universidad Estatal de Georgia revela que la lengua materna influye en la forma en que las personas transmiten información desde temprana edad, lo que sugiere la existencia de un sistema de comunicación universal. La profesora Şeyda Özçalışkan, del Departamento de Psicología, ha estado estudiando la conexión entre el lenguaje y el pensamiento. Su último estudio, publicado en la revista Language and Cognition, es una extensión de investigaciones previas con adultos. En este caso, Özçalışkan, junto con Susan Goldin-Meadow de la Universidad de Chicago y Che Lucero de la Universidad de Cornell, se enfocaron en niños de 3 a 12 años que hablaban inglés o turco, y les pidieron que utilizaran sus manos para realizar acciones específicas, como entrar corriendo a una casa.
