Meaning in Words, Gestures, and Mental Images
In this study, we provide evidence for a cross-modal interaction between the meaning of pantomimes and words when the visuo-spatial and perceptual information of these last is enhanced. We recorded behavioral and electrophysiological responses with a cross-modal repetition priming. Pantomimes of objects and actions were used to prime visually presented nouns and verbs with an image formation ta...
متن کاملgestures , and the emergence of abstract scientific concepts
Where anthropological and psychological studies have shown that gestures are a central feature of communication and cognition, little is known about the role of gesture in learning and instruction. Drawing from a large database on student learning, we show that when students engage in conversations in the presence of material objects, these objects provide a phenomenal ground against which stud...
متن کاملCommunicating with Diagrams and Gestures
There are many ways to communicate. Some forms of communication, like words, are symbolic; the relationship between the content and the form of a message is arbitrary. Other forms, like visualizations and gesture, are at least in part iconic; the relationship between the content and the form can be resemblance. Resemblance confers an immediacy to communications; they can be directly understood ...
متن کاملIconic Gestures Prime Words
Using a cross-modal semantic priming paradigm, both experiments of the present study investigated the link between the mental representations of iconic gestures and words. Two groups of the participants performed a primed lexical decision task where they had to discriminate between visually presented words and nonwords (e.g., flirp). Word targets (e.g., bird) were preceded by video clips depict...
متن کاملEntangling words and meaning
Human memory experiments appear to be generating “nonlocal” effects (Nelson & McEvoy 2007b). In this paper the possibility that words might be entangled in human semantic space is seriously entertained. This approach leads to a very natural picture of the way in which context might affect word association via the standard interpretation of quantum measurement. Two possible scenarios for testing...
