Abstract: ABSTRACT Brain damage is associated with linguistic deficits and might alter co‐speech gesture production. Gesture production after focal brain injury has been mainly investigated with respect to intrasentential rather than discourse‐level linguistic processing. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/schbul/sbab059
Abstract: Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) exhibit an aberrant perception and comprehension of abstract speech-gesture combinations associated with dysfunctional activation of the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Recently, a significant deficit of speech-gesture mismatch detection… read more here.

Abstract: Teaching a new concept through gestures-hand movements that accompany speech-facilitates learning above-and-beyond instruction through speech alone (e.g., Singer & Goldin-Meadow, ). However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still under investigation. Here, we use eye… read more here.
