Explanation:
Edward Sapir and later Benjamin Lee Worf espoused that the language a human speaks can have an effect on the way their mind processes mental functions such as memory, thought and perception.
This called the <em>Sapir–Whorf hypothesis</em> and Linguistic Determinism is the form of it that explains why Chinese speakers may be more likely to think about time on a vertical or a horizontal plane.
