How reading comprehension is embodied and why that matters (2011, background): “Second, oral language makes use of gestures (Beilock & Goldin-Meadow, 2010; Goldin-Meadow & Beilock, 2010; Hostetter & Alibali, 2008) that help to disambiguate the language and aid in indexing.”
Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning by Embodying Words Through Physical Activity and Gesturing (2015, background): “According to Hostetter and Alibali (2008), body movements such as gestures can facilitate the retrieval of mental lexical items.”
Actions Speak Louder than Words: How Figurative Language and Gesturing in Entrepreneurial Pitches Influences Investment Judgments (2019, background): “Our underlying explanation for how gesturing works in this context builds on research in cognitive science showing that gestures are a form of simulated action (Hostetter & Alibali, 2008).”
Playing Mathematical Instruments: Emerging Perceptuomotor Integration with an Interactive Mathematics Exhibit (2013, background): “Accordingly, some gesture researchers argue that gestures are produced by perceptuo-motor simulation (Hostetter & Alibali, 2008).”
Immersive VR and Education: Embodied Design Principles That Include Gesture and Hand Controls (2018, background): “Hostetter and Alibali (2008) posit that gesture ﬁrst requires a mental simulation before movement commences, at that time motor and premotor areas of the brain are activated in action-appropriate ways.”
How Teachers Link Ideas in Mathematics Instruction Using Speech and Gesture: A Corpus Analysis (2014, methodology): “One recent formulation of this perspective is the Gesture as Simulated Action framework (Hostetter & Alibali, 2008).”
Iconicity as a General Property of Language: Evidence from Spoken and Signed Languages (2010, background): “It is important for future research to tease apart these different types of iconicity and to assess their relative learning difficulty (see Meier et al., 2008 for a similar point). www.frontiersin.org December 2010 | Volume 1 | Article 227 | 11 and comprehension (Hostetter and Alibali, 2008, 2010).”
Embodiment in Mathematics Teaching and Learning: Evidence From Learners' and Teachers' Gestures (2012, methodology): “As described earlier, according to Hostetter and Alibali (2008), the motor activation involved in simulating actions or perceptual experiences, in conjunction with the D ow nl oa de d by [M ar th a A lib al i] at 1 1: 20 1 3 N ov em be r 2 01 1 EMBODIMENT IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING AND LEARNING…”
Getting the point: Tracing worked examples enhances learning (2015, background): “Given that representational gestures are derived from simulated action and perception (Hostetter & Alibali, 2008), such grounding could be often accomplished by using representational gestures.”
