Read the excerpt from "The Think Tank".
Shumaker is delighted with Azy's mistake. "Azy's mistakes are more interesting than his right answers," he says. "When he saw the bags, he didn't pick a symbol that meant food, such as 'apple.' He didn't pick a verb, such as 'open.' He picked the one other symbol that meant an object, a container. I think his mistakes show that he's putting these words into categories in his mind. Maybe this can teach us a little bit about how he thinks."
