"I just like the relationship of gestures when you're in a situation together," she said.
Building on those insightful analyses, we propose a more direct relationship between gestures and representations of space and action.
Given the dominance of the left cerebral hemisphere for language processing in humans, they may also clarify the nature of the relationship between gestures and language.
These studies, providing some insight into the processes of hemispheric lateralization, have thus highlighted the close relationship between gestures and language.
Scholars associated with the Collegium have also investigated the fate of Iraq's intelligentsia, the role of games in learning and the relationship between gesture and sign language.
Of course, these possible relationships between gestures and diagrams are not mutually exclusive: gesture and diagramming could both ultimately spring from an urge to spatialize relational structure while, at the same time, shaping each other to some degree.
Atit, Weisberg, Newcombe, and Shipley (2016 6 demonstrate the nuanced relationship between gesture and language in the context of learning topographic maps, an important and complex representational format for the geosciences.
Research in recent decades has demonstrated a tight relationship between gesture and speech, with the two often "co-expressing" the same idea in two formats at once (McNeill, 1992).
Due to the close relationship of gesture and language[54] and the traditional view of the left hemisphere being language-dominant[55] it is important for us to consider the issue of laterality.
We aimed to identify the relative relationship of gesture and speech, in the context of impaired language, both overall and in individual events.
