Hand gestures have been found to provide both semantic information and cognitive facilitative effects in language tasks. These benefits, however, have typically been linked to micro-levels of word and sentence production, and little attention has been paid to the macro-levels of narrative production and organization. In this study, we examined the length, content, syntactic complexity, and organization of narratives of ten typically developing adults under two conditions: (i) Free Gesture, in which participants were allowed to gesture freely while retelling a story, and (ii) Restricted Gesture, where the participants were prevented from moving their hands freely. Results indicated that although narrative length and content did not vary significantly between conditions, narratives produced in the Free Gesture condition were significantly more grammatically complex and better organized than those produced in the Restricted Gesture condition. The findings are discussed with respect to the potential facilitative cognitive effects of gesture for discourse planning.

手势限制对叙事制作质量的影响

已经发现手势可以在语言任务中提供语义信息和认知促进作用。然而,这些好处通常与单词和句子生产的微观层面有关,而很少关注叙事生产和组织的宏观层面。在这项研究中,我们在两种情况下检查了十个典型发展中的成年人的叙述的长度、内容、句法复杂性和组织:(i)自由手势,其中允许参与者在复述故事时自由手势,以及(ii)受限手势,参与者不能自由移动他们的手。结果表明,虽然叙述长度和内容在不同条件下没有显着差异,在自由手势条件下产生的叙事比在限制手势条件下产生的叙事在语法上更复杂,更有条理。研究结果就手势对话语规划的潜在促进认知效应进行了讨论。
