Someone talking with the TA in Sensation and Perception: "The last day of class is a week from Tuesday." "I thought it was two weeks from last Tuesday." "That's the same thing. We're just talking about different Tuesdays."
In cognition we are talking about language. You hear either a D or a T, an L sound or an R sound not something in the middle. "In Asian languages there is no distinction between l and r. That's why it's impossible for a Japanese to say something like glomerulus. Aren't you glad you're not a Japanese smell researcher?" (Glomeruli are structures on the olfactory bulb in the brain. They are the first brain region where smell is processed.)
