Abstract
Gestures are of interest to psychologists because of their prevalence in
communication, frequently emerging when a speaker is attempting to facilitate
memory (Morsella & Krauss, 2004) or conceptualization (Hostetter, et al., 2007)
* The Gestures as Simulated Action (GSA) framework suggests that gestures
originate in sensorimotor activation (Hostetter & Alibali, 2008)
* The GSA predicts that greater sensorimotor activation, even that extraneous to
communicative intent, should increase gesture production
Studies that show increased gesturing when objects have stronger ties to
potential (Chu & Kita, 2015) or previous action (Hostetter & Alibali, 2010)
support this GSA prediction
