| مستخلص: | Performing action has been found to have a greater impact on learning than observing action. Here we ask whether a particular type of action--the gestures that accompany talk--affect learning in a comparable way. We gave 158 6-year-old children instruction in a mental transformation task. Half the children were asked to produce a "Move" gesture relevant to the task; half were asked to produce a "Point" gesture. The children also observed the experimenter producing either a "Move" or "Point" gesture. Children who produced a "Move" gesture improved more than children who observed the "Move" gesture. Neither producing nor observing the "Point" gesture facilitated learning. Doing gesture promotes learning better than seeing gesture, as long as the gesture conveys information that could help solve the task. (Contains 5 footnotes, 1 table, and 2 figures.) |
