What Stuttering Reveals about the Development of the Gesture-Speech Relationship.

Mayberry, Rachel I.; Jaques, Joselynne; DeDe, Gayle

New Directions for Child Development, n79 p77-87 Spr 1998

Investigated effects of stuttering on gesture for adults and children. Found through transcription of videotaped narratives that during bouts of stuttering, the coexpressed gesture always waits for fluent speech to resume. Also found that the lower ratio of spoken words to coexpressed gestures for children may be due to lower attentional/cognitive capacity for the spoken portion of a message. (EV)
