Passage Summary: Babies can tell when a face looks weird even though they can't talk yet, which suggests they have mental images and can think without needing words.

Conclusion: Thinking is a process that can occur independently of language.

Reasoning: Infants who cannot speak can still recognize facial anomalies, implying they possess internal mental representations to which they compare what they see.

Analysis: The statement in question acts as an intermediate conclusion. It is supported by the evidence regarding infants' reactions to three-eyed faces and, in turn, serves as the necessary evidence to support the main conclusion about language and thought. Focus on how this claim bridges the gap between a physical observation and a broad psychological theory.
