The cognitive universalism hypothesis suggests: LO 8.17 The cognitive universalism hypothesis suggests: Concepts influence the development of language. The development of language is influenced by concepts. The development of language and concepts are unrelated. Culture influences both the development of language and concepts in the same direction. Color names would influence the ability of people to grow up and distinguish between colors.
