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 ...
Linguistic encoding of inferential evidence for events
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2022)
How people learn about events often varies with some events perceived in their entirety and others are inferred based on the available evidence. Here, we investigate how children and adults linguistically encode the sources ...
Universality and diversity in event cognition and language
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2022)
Humans are surprisingly adept at interpreting what is happening around them – they spontaneously and rapidly segment and organize their dynamic experience into coherent event construals. Such event construals may offer a ...
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 ...
