    "abstract": "In everyday life, people see, describe and remember motion\nevents. We tested whether the type of motion event\ninformation (path or manner) encoded in speech and gesture\npredicts which information is remembered and if this varies\nacross speakers of typologically different languages. We focus\non intransitive motion events (e.g., a woman running to a tree)\nthat are described differently in speech and co-speech gesture\nacross languages, based on how these languages typologically\nencode manner and path information (Kita & Özyürek, 2003;\nTalmy, 1985). Speakers of Dutch (n = 19) and Turkish (n = 22)\nwatched and described motion events. With a surprise (i.e.\nunexpected) recognition memory task, memory for manner and\npath components of these events was measured. Neither Dutch\nnor Turkish speakers’ memory for manner went above chance\nlevels. However, we found a positive relation between path\nspeech and path change detection: participants who described\nthe path during encoding were more accurate at detecting\nchanges to the path of an event during the memory task. In\naddition, the relation between path speech and path memory\nchanged with native language: for Dutch speakers encoding\npath in speech was related to improved path memory, but for\nTurkish speakers no such relation existed. For both languages,\nco-speech gesture did not predict memory speakers. We\ndiscuss the implications of these findings for our understanding\nof the relations between speech, gesture, type of encoding in\nlanguage and memory.",
