Direct linkWakefield, Elizabeth M.; Foley, Alana E.; Ping, Raedy; Villarreal, Julia N.; Goldin-Meadow, Susan; Levine, Susan C. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Past research has shown that children's mental rotation skills are malleable and can be improved through action experience--physically rotating objects--or gesture experience--showing how objects could rotate (e.g., Frick, Ferrara, & Newcombe, 2013; Goldin-Meadow et al., 2012; Levine, Goldin-Meadow, Carlson, & Hemani-Lopez, 2018). These…

Stieff, Mike; Lira, Matthew E.; Scopelitis, Stephanie A. – Cognition and Instruction, 2016
The present article describes two studies that examine the impact of teaching students to use gesture to support spatial thinking in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) discipline of chemistry. In Study 1 we compared the effectiveness of instruction that involved either watching gesture, reproducing gesture, or reading…

Chu, Mingyuan; Kita, Sotaro – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2008
This study investigated the motor strategy involved in mental rotation tasks by examining 2 types of spontaneous gestures (hand-object interaction gestures, representing the agentive hand action on an object, vs. object-movement gestures, representing the movement of an object by itself) and different types of verbal descriptions of rotation.…
