Verbal Data

Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or data:

    Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one.

    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it—all my life.
