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 ...
Late sign language exposure does not modulate the relation between spatial language and spatial memory in deaf children and adults
(Springer, 2023-04)
Prior work with hearing children acquiring a spoken language as their first language shows that spatial language and cognition are related systems and spatial language use predicts spatial memory. Here, we further investigate ...
Multimodal encoding of motion events in speech, gesture and cognition
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-12)
How people communicate about motion events and how this is shaped by language typology are mostly studied with a focus on linguistic encoding in speech. Yet, human communication typically involves an interactional exchange ...
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 ...
