text: Language and spatial cognition The question whether the use of language influences spatial cognition is closely related to theories of linguistic relativity—also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis—which states that the structure of a language affects cognitive processes of the speaker. Debates about this topic are mainly focused on the extent to which language influences spatial cognition or if it does at all. Research also concerns differences between perspectives on spatial relations across cultures, what these imply, and the exploration of potentially partaking cognitive mechanisms. Research shows that frames of reference for spatial cognition differ across cultures and that language could

Importantly, negative evidence does not show what "is" grammatical, but helps eliminate ungrammatical constructions by revealing what is "not" grammatical. There are two main types of negative evidence in language acquisition: "direct" negative evidence and "indirect" negative evidence. Direct
