is discussed in Langer. There is a connection between Edelman’s theory and Langer’s theory. Langer suggests that there are times when we need representational resources that are non-verbal, alternate forms to articulate our subjective experience of phenomenal sensation. Langer proposed that the ability to express subjective experience in non-linguistic form can serve as a precursor to textual language. Langer argued that there are subjective experiences that are pre- or post- verbal, that need art forms to provide an initial attempt to formulate communication. I argue that there are concepts and experiences that are too difficult to be translated or interpreted immediately into textual language. When we are learning, we need to have alternate ways and means to interpret what we have learned, to bring the learning into focus, to distill and discern the phenomenal transform of our sensory perception, processed through our value-category memory system and then communicate our understanding to others.
