Why do kids learn better from gestures than visually similar actions with objects? In our new paper out in JoCN, we looked at how the brain responds to both. Check out the full paper here: doi.org/10.1162/JOCN...

Gesture-based Instruction Enhances Neural Synchrony and Predicts Children's Mathematical Learning
Abstract. Teachers' hand movements during instruction can influence how children learn mathematics, but not all movements are equally effective. Gesture-based instruction on problems such as 4 + 2 + 5...

Excited to share the new preprint —grateful for the opportunity to work with @gabriellavigliocco.bsky.social @eddonnellan.bsky.social We explored how iconic gestures support children’s word learning. Excited to see it out!
NEW PREPRINT
Iconic gestures are produced before the associated words and support prediction, but how does this work in children learning words?
