Several studies have reported subtle differences in cognition between individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) compared to those with normal cognition. This study aimed to (i) identify these differences using discrepancy scores (e.g., cate...
Hand gesturing is one of the most useful non-verbal behaviors in the classroom, and can help students activate multi-sensory channels to complement teachers’ verbal behaviors and ultimately enhance teaching effectiveness. The existing mainstrea...
In his first approach to recursion in clausal embedding, Chomsky (1957) postulates a proform in the matrix clause linked to an independently constructed clause that, via an application of the generalised transformation, eventually becomes the matrix...
This study investigates the interpretation of hand gestures in nonverbal communication, with particular attention paid to cases where gesture form does not reliably convey the intended meaning. Hand gestures are a key medium for expressing impression...
