Yeo, Amelia; Alibali, Martha W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Past research suggests that speakers gesture more when motor simulations are more strongly activated. We investigate whether simulations of a perceptual nature also influence gesture production. Participants viewed animations of a spider moving with a manner of motion that was either highly salient (n = 29) or less salient (n = 31) and then…

Boncoddo, Rebecca; Williams, Caroline C.; Pier, Elizabeth; Walkington, Candace; Alibali, Martha W.; Nathan, Mithcell; Dogan, M. Fatih; Waala, Jessica – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
The role of the body, particularly gesture, in supporting mathematical reasoning is an emerging area of research in mathematics education. In the present study, we examine undergraduate students providing a justification for a task about a system of alternating gears, which involves concepts of number relating to even/odd patterns. Some…

Clinton, Virginia; Morsanyi, Kinga; Alibali, Martha W.; Nathan, Mitchell J. – Grantee Submission, 2016
Learning from visual representations is enhanced when learners appropriately integrate corresponding visual and verbal information. This study examined the effects of two methods of promoting integration, color coding and labeling, on learning about probabilistic reasoning from a table and text. Undergraduate students (N = 98) were randomly…
