Bedeutung von Gestenrezeption und -produktion beim Worterwerb

Der Worterwerb wird durch die lautsprachunterstützende Präsentation ikonischer Gesten positiv beeinflusst. In einer Interventionsstudie wurden die Worterwerbsprozesse von 42 Kindergartenkindern bezüglich ihres gestischen Benennverhaltens sowie des Modalitätentransfers (Gestik zu Lautsprache) analysiert. Untersucht wurde der Einfluss der Gestenrezeption im Vergleich zur -produktion beim Erwerb neuer Wörter.

Abstract

Speech-accompanying iconic gestures support novel word learning. In a multimodal intervention study, the process of novel word learning of 42 kindergarten children is analyzed regarding their gestural naming behavior as well as the transfer from gesture to spoken language. The study focusses on the influence of gesture reception compared to gesture production on the acquisition of novel words. Children use gesture input as a “stepping stone” to spoken language regardless of whether they have only seen the gestures or produced them themselves.
