Cook, Susan Wagner; Friedman, Howard S.; Duggan, Katherine A.; Cui, Jian; Popescu, Voicu – Cognitive Science, 2017
A beneficial effect of gesture on learning has been demonstrated in multiple domains, including mathematics, science, and foreign language vocabulary. However, because gesture is known to co-vary with other non-verbal behaviors, including eye gaze and prosody along with face, lip, and body movements, it is possible the beneficial effect of gesture…
