Locked in a Cage
 

Soooo, what do you think would happen if doctors were to take a child right after it was born and put it in a dark room for 21 years. They would obviously feed the child until it was old enough to eat food that was placed in front of it.

Lets say the room was 20 ft X 20 ft... what do you think would happen when they let it out at 21 years of age? Do you think it would be hard to it to learn a language?

etc etc... ima go pass out now [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

from a biological POV the child would be blind. children's toys aren't bright colors for no reason. the eyes need to be stimulated to make connections, one of the main reason's females have greater ability to make color distinctions than males do. and no, language would be impossible, humans can only learn a main language for a certain time frame. the window is only until 5 or 6 years old.

These studies have already been done. It's related to feral children. You can find various sites on this all over.
It wouldn't be hard to learn a language, it would be virtually impossible.

Language would be the least of your concerns.. first, if the room was dark, his eyes would be f'd up in the light.. there would be social skills. Even a dog would have better social skills. Piss and crap everywhere... you wouldn't even be able to approach him without him freaking out... etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I watched something about this on the History Channel about two weeks ago. Some poor girl was locked in a cage by her father for the first 12 years of her life, that's the closest they know to this example.
