Communicative Gestures Benefit Communicators
Gestures are an integral part of speaking. They allow expression of thoughts that are difficult to articulate. They promote fluency of speech. Can gestures also facilitate reasoning, problem solving, and other cognitive processes? In the present task, people assembled an object and then made a video explaining how to assemble, using speech and gesture or gesture alone. A control group merely re...
متن کاملCommunicative Gestures and Memory Load
Previous research has shown that (co-speech) hand gestures sometimes aid cognition and can reduce a speaker’s cognitive load. We argue that this is not the case for gestures that are produced primarily to communicate, which we think come at a cognitive cost to speakers instead. In a production experiment with a narrative task, we show that speakers gesture more frequently with a less demanding ...
متن کاملRapid neural discrimination of communicative gestures.
Humans are biased toward social interaction. Behaviorally, this bias is evident in the rapid effects that self-relevant communicative signals have on attention and perceptual systems. The processing of communicative cues recruits a wide network of brain regions, including mentalizing systems. Relatively less work, however, has examined the timing of the processing of self-relevant communicative...
متن کاملHigh-level Specification and Animation of Communicative Gestures
This paper describes a complete system for the specification and the generation of visual communicative gestures. A high-level language for the specification of hand–arm communication gestures was developed. This language is based on both a discrete description of space, and a movement decomposition inspired by sign language gestures. Communication gestures are represented by symbolic commands ...

I argue that the analysis of different kinds of cooperation will benefit from an account of the cognitive and communicative functions required for that cooperation. I review different models of cooperation in game theory—reciprocal altruism, indirect reciprocity, cooperation about future goals, and conventions—with respect to their cognitive and communicative prerequisites. The cognitive factor...
