Joint Action Coordination in 2½- and 3-Year-Old Children
When acting jointly with others, adults can be as proficient as when acting individually. However, how young children coordinate their actions with another person and how their action coordination develops during early childhood is not well understood. By means of a sequential button-pressing game, which could be played jointly or individually, the action coordination of 2½- and 3-year-old chil...
متن کاملLearning a Motor Grammar of Iconic Gestures
In this paper, we present a computational investigation into the compositionality of iconic gestures by trying to learn a motor grammar. We propose a grammar formalism that learns (1) the salient, invariant features of single movement segments (motor primitives) and (2) the hierarchical organization of these segments in complex gesturing. The formalism is applied to a dataset of natural iconic ...
متن کاملLearning from gesture: How early does it happen?
Iconic gesture is a rich source of information for conveying ideas to learners. However, in order to learn from iconic gesture, a learner must be able to interpret its iconic form-a nontrivial task for young children. Our study explores how young children interpret iconic gesture and whether they can use it to infer a previously unknown action. In Study 1, 2- and 3-year-old children were shown ...
متن کاملProducing Gestures Facilitates Route Learning
The present study investigates whether producing gestures would facilitate route learning in a navigation task and whether its facilitation effect is comparable to that of hand movements that leave physical visible traces. In two experiments, we focused on gestures produced without accompanying speech, i.e., co-thought gestures (e.g., an index finger traces the spatial sequence of a route in th...
متن کاملVisuo-spatial Working Memory and the Comprehension of Iconic Gestures
Multi-modal discourse comprehension requires speakers to combine information from speech and gestures. To date, little research has addressed the cognitive resources that underlie these processes. Here we used a dual task paradigm to test the relative importance of verbal and visuo-spatial working memory in speech-gesture comprehension. Healthy, collegeaged participants encoded either a series ...
