Do people with high verbal ability have better memory retrieval than people without such ability?

Perhaps because language often helps facilitate memory retrieval?

tynamite's avatar If you want to use me as an example, then yes. But everyone I know says I'm clever, so it's due to that instead, not language.

By the way your assertion is flawed, as it's a bad correlation to make. Being good at language does not help people have a better memory, as thoughts, feelings and memories are abstract concepts, which we express in a concrete form.

We do not think in any language.
This whole question is wrong. It makes a bad assertion.
Start again. Make a new one.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
