Sign advantage: Both children and adults’ spatial expressions in sign are more informative than those in speech and gestures combined
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-12)Expressing Left-Right relations is challenging for speaking-children. Yet, this challenge was absent for signing-children, possibly due to iconicity in the visual-spatial modality of expression. We investigate whether there ... -
Spatial language use predicts spatial memory of children: evidence from sign, speech, and speech-plus-gesture
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2021)There is a strong relation between children’s exposure to spatial terms and their later memory accuracy. In the current study, we tested whether the production of spatial terms by children themselves predicts memory accuracy ... -
Speaking but not gesturing predicts event memory: a cross-linguistic comparison
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-09)Every day people see, describe, and remember motion events. However, the relation between multimodal encoding of motion events in speech and gesture, and memory is not yet fully understood. Moreover, whether language ... -
Speaking but not gesturing predicts motion event memory within and across languages
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2019)In everyday life, people see, describe and remember motion events. We tested whether the type of motion event information (path or manner) encoded in speech and gesture predicts which information is remembered and if this ...
