CAN GESTURES HELP CHILDREN LEARN?

Researchers at SF State have found that young children who use gestures solve problems well in certain instances.

In the study, children from two-and-a-half to five years of age were asked to sort cards by color and shape. Children who used gestures performed better than those who did not or those who gestured less. Gestures included hand movements that demonstrated card images, like rabbits.
