Indeed. Here&#x27;s a Radio Yerevan take on Brooks&#x27; writings, from Language Log:<p>&gt; Question to Language Log: Is it correct that if you show an American an image of a fish tank, the American will usually describe the biggest fish in the tank and what it is doing, while if you ask a Chinese person to describe a fish tank, the Chinese will usually describe the context in which the fish swim?<p>&gt; Answer: In principle, yes. But first of all, it wasn&#x27;t a representative sample of Americans, it was undergraduates in a psychology course at the University of Michigan; and second, it wasn&#x27;t Chinese, it was undergraduates in a psychology course at Kyoto University in Japan; and third, it wasn&#x27;t a fish tank, it was 10 20-second animated vignettes of underwater scenes; and fourth, the Americans didn&#x27;t mention the &quot;focal fish&quot; more often than the Japanese, they mentioned them less often.<p>From: Reality v.
