Teaching Analogical Reasoning With Co-speech Gesture Shows Children Where to Look, but Only Boosts Learning for Some

Abstract: In general, we know that gesture accompanying spoken instruction can help children learn. The present study was conducted to better understand how gesture can support children's comprehension of spoken instruction and whether the benefit of teaching though speech and gesture over spoken instruction alone depends on differences in cognitive profile-prior knowledge children have that is related to a to-be-learned concept. To answer this question, we explored the impact of gesture instruction on children's analog… Show more

“…While robust effects of gestures have been found in the domain of mathematical equivalence (e.g., Cook et al, 2013), and there is also evidence for effects of gesture on foreign word learning (e.g., Sweller et al, 2020), there are other cases where gesture does not appear to improve recall or performance (e.g. Guarino & Wakefield, 2020; Ping et al, 2022). Steffens et al (2015) present a list of comparisons between action performance and observation, in which over a dozen studies show no benefit.…”

“…Jestlerin öğrenme ve çeşitli bilişsel becerileri destekleyici etkisi ise bu görevlerin tamamlanabilmesi için kritik olan sözel veya kavramsal bilgilere dikkat çekebilmesi ile açıklanabilir (Alibali ve ark. 2017;Aussems ve Kita, 2019;Guarino ve Wakefield, 2020;Wakefield, ve ark. 2019).…”

“…Ayrıca, çocukların eşitleme ile alakalı matematik problemlerini çözerken jest kullanmalarının veya eğitmenlerinin kullandıkları jestleri gözlemlemelerinin matematik öğrenimini kolaylaştırıcı bir etkisi olduğu bulun-Psikoloji Çalışmaları -Studies in Psychology Cilt/Volume: 41, Sayı/Issue: 3, 2021 muştur (Alibali ve Goldin-Meadow, 1993;Broaders ve ark., 2007;Cook ve Goldin-Meadow, 2009;Cook ve ark., 2013;Goldin-Meadow ve ark., 2009). Bu bulgular, jestlerin 4-11 yaşlarındaki çocukların analoji becerileri (örn., kaplanın çocuğu kovalaması ve aslanın atı kovalaması gibi iki örnekte nesneler farklı olsa da nesnelerin arasındaki 'kovalamak' ilişkisinin aynı olduğunun farkedilmesi) üzerindeki kolaylaştırıcı etkisini inceleyen yakın zamanda tamamlanmış bir çalışmanın bulgularıyla benzerlik göstermektedir (Guarino ve Wakefield, 2020).…”

“…Given that the goal of exposing children to problems with the equal sign immediately before the answer is to reactivate prior knowledge, the effects of the interference manipulation might depend on the specifics of children's prior knowledge. Prior work in other tasks suggests that the beneficial effect of gesture varies according to children's knowledge prior to instruction (e.g., Congdon, Kwon, & Levine, 2018; Guarino & Wakefield, 2020; Wakefield & James, 2015). We wondered whether learners who use different strategies prior to instruction might show differences in how they respond to instruction and interference (as in Congdon et al., 2018).…”
