The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Competing conceptual representations trigger co-speech representational gestures (2009, background): “One important limitation of Hostetter et al. (2007) and Melinger and Kita (2007) was that participants described stimuli from memory.”
Language, gesture, action! A test of the Gesture as Simulated Action framework (2010, methodology): “Finally, the memory demands of the two conditions were held constant by allowing participants in the action condition to look at the patterns for 3 s, which was shown in previous research to be enough time for participants to accurately encode these patterns (Hostetter et al., 2007).”
Getting the point: Tracing worked examples enhances learning (2015, background): “Hostetter, Alibali, and Kita (2007) noted that gestures might facilitate speech production at different stages and at different levels, so the different accounts may all stand.”
Visible embodiment: Gestures as simulated action (2008, background): “For example, Hostetter et al. (2007) found that participants gestured more when describing dot patterns that had to be parsed into separate geometric shapes than when describing the same dot patterns that had already been broken down into discrete shapes.”
