Perception of co-speech gestures in aphasic patients: A visual exploration study during the observation of dyadic conversations

“…Moreover, Records (1994) showed earlier that aphasic patients relied more on visual information provided by referential gestures if auditory information was more ambiguous. On the other hand, Cocks, Sautin, Kita, Morgan, and Zlotowitz (2009) found that the multi-modal gain of a bimodal presentation (gesture and speech) was reduced in a case of aphasia compared to a healthy control group.…”

Development of multimodal discourse comprehension: cohesive use of space by gestures

“…Furthermore, gestures facilitate children's comprehension of semantically co-expressive words (McNeill, Alibali, & Evans, 2000;Morford & Goldin-Meadow, 1992). Other studies have shown how adults and children integrate gesture and speech so that each contributes unique information to the unified interpretation (adults: Cocks, Sautin, Kita, Morgan, & Zlotowitz, 2009;Kelly, Özyürek, & Maris, 2010;children: Kelly, 2001;Sekine, Sowden, & Kita, 2015). Unlike the previous studies on children's comprehension of speech-gesture combinations, the current study investigated how children integrate the cohesive use of space in a sequence of gestures with spoken discourse.…”

Iconic gesture and speech integration in younger and older adults

“…Therefore, in order to fully understand a speakers' intention, addressees are required to comprehend and integrate information from both the speech and the gesture channels. This psycholinguistic process is be referred to here as gesture and speech integration (Cocks, Sautin, Kita, Morgan, & Zlotowitz, 2009). …”
