“…As examples, while NEUROGES® values register universal behavioral phenomena, i.e., all NEUROGES® values were found to occur in all cultures, cultures differ in the frequency of the display of certain values Kim, 2016;Kim & Lausberg, 2018a, Kim & Lausberg, 2018b. Furthermore, NEUROGES® evidences gender differences in nonverbal behavior .…”

Preface 8 broad range of different scientific disciplines, e.g. linguistics/psycholinguistics, psychology, neuropsychology, medicine, evolutionary anthropology, or criminology. Thus far, altogether more than 500 individuals from different cultures of five continents have been investigated, Germans, British, US Americans, francophone and anglophone Canadians, Suisse, Koreans, Kenyans, and Papua New Guineans, including healthy adults and children as well as individuals with brain damage and with mental illness. Furthermore, NEUROGES® has been used for studies on non-human primates. Finally, NEUROGES® can be combined with other more specialized coding systems such as the Linguistic Annotation System for Gestures (LASG) or the Movement Psychodiagnostic Inventory (MPI).The present book follows up on the first book "Understanding Body Movement" published 2013 in Peter Lang Academic Research, in which the theoretical background and design of the NEUROGES® system are presented. This second book contains the complete coding manual for the application of the system in research. It further includes an interactive video learning tool that illustrates the assessment algorithm and provides video examples of all NEUROGES® -registered hand movement and gesture types. In addition, four training videos are provided that enable readers to train the application of NEUROGES® and to compare their analyses with a correct solution. Thus, the present book provides all materials needed for an effective self-study of the NEUROGES® system and it enables to a reliable application of the system in research.I would like to thank the German Research Association for the long-lasting funding of this project and the Peter Lang Company, notably Benjamin Kloss, for publishing the two books on the NEUROGES® system. Furthermore, over the past two decades, discussions with many colleagues from different scientific disciplines have influenced the development to the NEUROGES® system and have made it a truly interdisciplinary tool, notably with Martha Davis, Robyn

“…This fits well with the idea of construction grammar ( Cienki, 2017 ; Goldberg, 2005 ; Goldberg & Suttle, 2010 ; Steen & Turner, 2012 ) in that we learn the mapping of a multimodal set of signals to particular meanings. In fact, learning must play a relatively large role in communicative behavior because gestures and other visual signals can also vary from culture to culture ( Cooperrider & Núñez, 2009 ; Cooperrider, Slotta, & Núñez, 2018 ; Kim & Lausberg, 2018 ; Kita, 2009 ; Kwon et al, 2018 ). Thus, the prior information that we draw on to inform multimodal gestalt perception can vary across different cultures and is unlikely to be innate.…”

Interactionally Embedded Gestalt Principles of Multimodal Human Communication

Natural human interaction requires us to produce and process many different signals, including speech, hand and head gestures, and facial expressions. These communicative signals, which occur in a variety of temporal relations with each other (e.g., parallel or temporally misaligned), must be rapidly processed as a coherent message by the receiver. In this contribution, we introduce the notion of interactionally embedded, affordance-driven gestalt perception as a framework that can explain how this rapid processing of multimodal signals is achieved as efficiently as it is. We discuss empirical evidence showing how basic principles of gestalt perception can explain some aspects of unimodal phenomena such as verbal language processing and visual scene perception but require additional features to explain multimodal human communication. We propose a framework in which high-level gestalt predictions are continuously updated by incoming sensory input, such as unfolding speech and visual signals. We outline the constituent processes that shape high-level gestalt perception and their role in perceiving relevance and prägnanz. Finally, we provide testable predictions that arise from this multimodal interactionally embedded gestalt-perception framework. This review and framework therefore provide a theoretically motivated account of how we may understand the highly complex, multimodal behaviors inherent in natural social interaction.

“…Current theories in cognitive science have not fully accounted for the existence as well as the causes of these individual differences for scientific gain ( Underwood, 1975 ; Vogel and Awh, 2008 ). Most of the earlier studies in the gesture literature disregarded the variation among individuals and focused on group comparisons based on age (e.g., Feyereisen and Havard, 1999 ; Colletta et al, 2010 ; Austin and Sweller, 2014 ; Özer et al, 2017 ), sex (e.g., Özçalışkan and Goldin-Meadow, 2010 ), neuropsychological impairments (e.g., Cleary et al, 2011 ; Göksun et al, 2013b , 2015 ; Akbıyık et al, 2018 ; Akhavan et al, 2018 ; Hilverman et al, 2018 ; Özer et al, 2019 ; see Clough and Duff, 2020 for a review), culture, and the native status of the speakers and the listeners (i.e., bilinguals vs. monolinguals; e.g., Goldin-Meadow and Saltzman, 2000 ; Mayberry and Nicoladis, 2000 ; Pika et al, 2006 ; Kita, 2009 ; Nicoladis et al, 2009 ; Gullberg, 2010 ; Smithson et al, 2011 ; Kim and Lausberg, 2018 ; Azar et al, 2019 , 2020 ) to understand how human multimodal language faculty operates at a general level. The gesture theories and current experimental practices in the gesture literature mostly downplayed the significance of individual differences and treated them as error variance.…”

Speakers use spontaneous hand gestures as they speak and think. These gestures serve many functions for speakers who produce them as well as for listeners who observe them. To date, studies in the gesture literature mostly focused on group-comparisons or the external sources of variation to examine when people use, process, and benefit from using and observing gestures. However, there are also internal sources of variation in gesture use and processing. People differ in how frequently they use gestures, how salient their gestures are, for what purposes they produce gestures, and how much they benefit from using and seeing gestures during comprehension and learning depending on their cognitive dispositions. This review addresses how individual differences in different cognitive skills relate to how people employ gestures in production and comprehension across different ages (from infancy through adulthood to healthy aging) from a functionalist perspective. We conclude that speakers and listeners can use gestures as a compensation tool during communication and thinking that interacts with individuals' cognitive dispositions.
