I've been wondering, does the learning of a computer programming language feel like it is intensively using the brain region(s) intensively used in learning linguistics? We learn a great deal about spoken and written language before even considering studying a computer programming language, so determining from personal experience, without scientific experimentation or observation, whether linguistics aptitude and computer programming aptitude coincide at their neurological basis or bases may be difficult or impossible.
There may some day be multi-color images of brain activity during every conceivable type of learning, and the likes of me won't need to ask questions like the one I just asked.
I might could phrase the above better—and I may try—but I don't know that I could change it much for better or worse. Let's see; there are programmers about; which one should I lay this on. Actually, anyone who finds anything in what I've said to address may do so, with no need of my permission.
