* Oral subjects took a practical, not an abstract, approach to syllogisms. Luria asked them this question. ''In the far north, where there is snow, all bears are white. Novaya Zembla is in the far north and there is always snow there. What colour are the bears? '' Typical response: “I don’t know. I’ve seen a black bear. I’ve never seen any others. … Every locality has its own animals.”

Ask others; they can tell you about me. I myself can’t say anything.” Walter J. Ong. ''Orality and Literacy'', pp. 49-54.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orality]
