Why Gesture?
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Why Gesture?

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter will be to expand our understanding of the effects that gestures have on learning by exploring their impact on the acquisition of non-spatial concepts. This is crucial to our understanding of how exactly gestures help learners – a premise at the very heart of this book. It could be the case that gesture simply aids in the learning of spatial information. In and of itself, this is a remarkable contribution. Alternatively, it could be that gesture actually conveys a general cognitive benefit by aiding in the learning of both spatial and non-spatial information, making gesture a potent tool for understanding the world around us. Using extant literature in conjunction with experimental findings, I will make a case for the latter.
