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 and gesturing guide event perception during message conceptualization: Evidence from eye movements
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Speakers' visual attention to events is guided by linguistic conceptualization of information in spoken language production and in language-specific ways. Does production of language-specific co-speech gestures further ...
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 ...
