چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to examine the function served by self-adaptor type behaviors (defined here as "hand touch" on the face, body, the other hand, and the fingers) in order to discover why people perform self-adaptors and what happens when they do. Following an extensive review of the literature, it is proposed that self-adaptors serve two functions: a primary encoder function, whereby the individual uses self-adaptors to help himself prepare for or cope with problems in encoding; and a secondary encoder function, whereby self-adaptor activity provides the observer with cues for attitudinal inferences. The paper concludes with a discussion of some of the ways of testing hypotheses related to self-adaptor type behaviors. (RB) The purpose of this paper is to examine the function served by self-adaptor type behaviors, defined here as hand touch or the face, body, the other hand, and the fingers. The two questions we want to ask then are: a) why do people perform self-adaptors and b) what happens when they do? We propose that self-adaptors serve two functions ; first, a primary encoder function, whereby the individual uses self-adaptors to help himself prepare for, or cope with problems in encoding; and a secondary decoder function, whereby self-adaptor activity provides the observer with cues for attitudinal inferences. The presentation of this paper will move from the general to the specific. First, we shall briefly present some background, followed by an overview of studies touching upon self-adaptor type behaviors; next we shall examine some experimental evidence related to our rationale and propose some ways for hypothesis testing.

Results revealed that Ss could discriminate,fingerspelled words and decompose fingerspelling into the handshapes that map:into English orthography. Even the youngest ...
