{"pk":25459,"title":"Gesture Production under Instructional Context:\nThe Role of Mode of Instruction","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We aim at examining how communication mode\ninfluences the production of gestures under specific\ncontextual environments. Twenty-four participants were\nasked to present a topic of their choice under three\ninstructional settings: a blackboard, paper-and-pencil, and a\ntablet. Participants’ gestures were investigated in three\ngroups: deictic gestures that point to entities,\nrepresentational gestures that present picturable aspects of\nsemantic content, and beat gestures that are speech-related\nrhythmic hand movements. The results indicated that\ngesture production of the participants was influenced by the\nmode of instruction (i.e., board, paper-and-pencil, tablet).","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Gesture production; Multimodal communication;\nDiagrams"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5nz1c85x","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Melda","middle_name":"","last_name":"Coskun","name_suffix":"","institution":"Cognitive Science Department, Informatics Institute\nMiddle East Technical University","department":""},{"first_name":"Cengiz","middle_name":"","last_name":"Acarturk","name_suffix":"","institution":"Cognitive Science Department, Informatics Institute\nMiddle East Technical University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25459/galley/15083/download/"}]}
