Gesture-Speech Mismatch and Mechanisms of Learning: What the Hands Reveal about a Child's State of Mind.
Alibali, Martha Wagner; Goldin-Meadow, Susan
Cognitive Psychology, v25 n4 p468-523 Oct 1993
Mismatch between gesture and speech was used to study cognitive processes that characterize the transition between incorrect, but rule-governed, problem understanding to correct rule-governed understanding among 90 fourth graders in Chicago (Illinois). Data support the idea that the transitional state is characterized by concurrent activation of more than one procedure. (SLD)
