Metaphors that describe an abstract concept in terms of a motion are widely used to enhance our understanding concepts. These metaphors not only daily language but also learning mathematics. As example, the process representation mathematical concept, graphical may play role mediatory domain. This could have high degree perceptual and action effector strength. is particularly case when gestures (as motion) depict representation. After looking at this we discuss strength base domains several concepts spatial Then, based on data Lancaster Sensorimotor Norms, it suggested degrees these important grounding physical environment.

Neuropsychologia, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 189, С. 108665 - 108665

Real-world communication is situated in rich multimodal contexts, containing speech and gesture. Speakers often convey unique information gesture that not present the signal (e.g., saying "He searched for a new recipe" while making typing gesture). We examine narrative retellings of participants with without moderate-severe traumatic brain injury across three timepoints over two online Zoom sessions to investigate whether people TBI can integrate from co-occurring if persists delays.60 60 non-injured peers watched videos narrator telling four short stories. On key details, produced complementary gestures conveyed information. Participants retold stories at timepoints: immediately after, 20-min later, one-week later. examined words used when retelling these coding them as Speech Match recipe"), Gesture recipe online), or Other ("He looked recipe"). also representative themselves details.Despite recalling fewer story were likely report their retellings. All more produce later compared after hearing story.We demonstrated speech-gesture integration intact This finding has exciting implications utility support comprehension memory expands our understanding naturalistic language processing this population.

Results of the studies on way language and body coordinate in communication (through gesture) have significant implications for language, education, cognitive studies. However, there is a lack convenient research this area analyzing perceptual changes within individuals. To fill gap, we investigated embodied realizations literal sentences representing metaphorical describing phenomena terms changes. We classified that referred to visual, auditory, haptic, gustatory, or olfactory change. Participants listened four narratives contained five real change described phenomenon analyzed recorded videos participants. The total number was obtained each modality (visual, olfactory) separately. Also, gestures used with category these statements obtained. Only iconic non-iconic such as movement an object space were counted. results revealed accompanied at least 53% 56% sentences. These suggest could be understood movements conceptual level. similarity between supports one main assumptions strong version cognition.

Give your ideas a hand: the role of iconic hand gestures in enhancing divergent creative thinking

Psychological Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 88(4), С. 1298 - 1313

Опубликована: Март 28, 2024

Hand gestures play an integral role in multimodal language and communication. Even though the self-oriented functions of gestures, such as activating a speaker's lexicon maintaining visuospatial imagery, have been emphasized, gestures' creative thinking are not well-established. In current study, we investigated iconic verbal divergent thinking-a process related to generating many novel ideas. Based on previous findings, hypothesized that gesture use would facilitate young adults, especially those with high mental imagery skills. Participants performed Guildford's Alternative Uses Task gesture-spontaneous gesture-encouraged condition. We measured fluency (number ideas), originality (uniqueness flexibility idea categories), elaboration details) thinking. The results showed producing condition positively predicted fluency, originality, elaboration. condition, also but negatively flexibility. Mental skills did interact effects These suggest promising candidate for enhancing almost all aspects Overall, study adds new dimension function is, their contribution

The purpose of this study is to compare the metaphorical perceptions earthquakes by preschool and primary school students. phenomenology research method, one qualitative designs, was used in study. While interview technique data collection process, modeling drawing techniques were also contribute process. participants consisted nine students total, including I II levels (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th grade) between ages 3-5 who affected earthquake Antakya district Hatay province. According findings obtained, it determined that metaphors towards phenomenon far from scientific explanations. On other hand, expressions more common metaphor second-level phenomenon. fact under influence separated their educational environment has caused them show maturity a lower group than class level they in. Accordingly, limited science course only gamification. Based on relevant results obtained within scope research, some suggestions made.

Çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden Durum Çalışması tekniğinde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın grubunu, 20 Şubat Kahramanmaraş merkezli deprem felaketinden sonra, Konya iline gelerek, yurtlara yerleştirilen ve yurtlar içinde açılan okullara devam eden temel eğitim düzeyindeki çocuklar oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanması için serbest resim çizim tekniği kullanılmıştır. Ön test verileri olarak toplanan bu ardından çocuklara, depremden etkilenen yazılmış olan hikaye okunmuştur. Bir gün sonra çocuklardan tekrar yapmaları istenmiştir. Hikâye sonrası istenen resimler son Çocuklardan alınan içeriği iki uzman araştırmacı tarafından incelenmiş içerisindeki tüm temalar not edilmiştir. NVivo 14 paket programı kullanılarak temalar, ortak özelliklerine göre kodlara ayrılmış 29 kod elde edilmiş aynı program karşılaştırmalar Çalışmanın sonuçlarına incelendiğinde, hikayenin gruplarında(6-10 yaş) olumlu değişimlere yol açtığı görülmüştür.

Gestural embodiment of spatial schematic information in motion-based and static space-based metaphors

Cogent Arts and Humanities, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 10(1)

Опубликована: Окт. 10, 2023

In this study, we examined the types of gestures that occurred with motion-based, static space-based, object-based, and event-based metaphors. A group participants listened to three short stories then retold them in front a camera. The camera could record participants' gestures. Each story contained two metaphors each type. Our aim was calculate frequency occurrence metaphoric these when were retelling stories. We used contingency table analysis make comparison between four terms number them. Results showed motion-based space-based significantly higher than object-based Based on results, it is suggested embodiment target metaphor its base dependent nature spatial features base.
