A more recent, larger, study by Sekine and colleagues (Sekine & Rose 2013; Sekine et al., 2013) examining a comprehensive range of gestures and aphasia types indicated that neither overall aphasia severity nor the degree of word retrieval impairment significantly predicts gesture production patterns.
In this paper, we examine whether gesture can be used (and is being used) to help students with the difficult task of coordinating statistical concepts.
Future work could examine whether gesture provides evidence that students understand such connections between levels, using feedback systems or other types of complex systems where misconceptions are common (Chi et al., 2012; Jacobson et al., 2011).
She gestured behind her, at a pair of excited little girls examining a rack of Fulla-branded Frisbees and pool toys.
Currently we plan to examine spontaneous gestures while singing, an understudied area in musician's motions using this tool.
To make an example, examining gestures grants a particular vantage point from which to understand a social phenomenon at hand.
One idea is to examine the gestures, particularly the dynamic gestures, that competent problem-solvers tend to make, and then turn these gestures into directed actions given by the game for particular conjectures.
Thus our general approach is to examine the gestures that competent problem-solvers make when they prove our geometric conjectures, and then re-imagine these gestures as large arm movements that the technology can reliably capture.
Try doing a gesture drawing.
Examining how gesture enhances learning has important implications for science, technical, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, where the playing field is not level among individuals with few versus many economic resources (Chen, 2013).
However, they, like all other researchers who have examined ape gesture, find flexible use of gestures to be the norm.
