• Teachers’ gestures facilitate students’ learning: A lesson in symmetry (2003, background): “In some cases, mismatching gestures appear to hinder comprehension of the speech they accompany (Goldin-Meadow & Sandhofer, 1999; McNeil et al., 2000).”
• Gesture in Spatial Cognition: Expressing, Communicating, and Thinking About Spatial Information (2005, background): “Furthermore, there is evidence that redundant gestures contribute more to comprehension when the verbal message is complex (Graham & Heywood, 1976; McNeil et al., 2000), ambiguous (Thompson & Massaro, 1994), or degraded in some way (Riseborough, 1981).”
