• An Evolutionary Upgrade of Cognitive Load Theory: Using the Human Motor System and Collaboration to Support the Learning of Complex Cognitive Tasks (2012, background): “Similarly, Church et al. (2004) showed that children who had received instructional videos about Piagetian conservation tasks with verbal explanations and gestures being made by the instructor outperformed children, who had received the same instructional videos with verbal explanations only.”
• Gesture's Role in the Learning Process (2004, background): “The few experimental studies that have been done suggest that a lesson accompanied by gesture is more effective than that same lesson not accompanied by gesture ( Church, Ayman-Nolley, & Mahootian, 2004; Perry, Berch, & Singleton, 1995; Valenzeno, Alibali, & Klatzky, 2003).”
• Effects of Different Video Lecture Types on Sustained Attention, Emotion, Cognitive Load, and Learning Performance (2015, background): “visible in the video of a lecturer) enhance learning (Church et al., 2004; Valenzeno et al., 2003).”
• Socio-Pragmatics and Attention: Contributions to Gesturally Guided Word Learning in Toddlers (2008, background): “7 These findings contribute to our understanding of gesture as a support for learning broadly defined (eg, Church, Ayman-Nolley, & Mahootian, 2004 ; Valenzeno, Alibali, & Klatzky, 2003 ).”
• Effects of Integrated Physical Exercises and Gestures on Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (2015, background): “Moreover, numerous studies have shown that observing gestures can have positive effects on learning (e.g., Church et al. 2004; Cook et al. 2013; Ping and Goldin-Meadow2008).”
• Students learn more when their teacher has learned to gesture effectively (2013, methodology): “…either by scripting variations in an experimenter’s speech and gesture (e.g., Perry, Berch, & Singleton, 1995; Ping & Goldin-Meadow, 2008) or by using videos that were scripted and filmed (i.e., with actors) so that the instructor’s gestures varied (e.g., Church et al., 2004; Cook et al., 2013).”
