TYPE OF GESTURE, VALENCE, AND GAZE MODULATE THE INFLUENCE OF GESTURES ON OBSERVER’S BEHAVIOURS

The present kinematic study aimed at determining whether the observation of arm/hand gestures performed by conspecifics affected an action apparently unrelated to the gesture (i.e. reaching-grasping). In 3 experiments we examined the influence of different gestures on action kinematics . We also ana...
