In this experiment, we focused on gestures produced without accompanying speech. Adult participants were asked to study spatial sequence of routes shown in four diagrams, one at a time. Participants rehearsed the routes with gestures, actual hand movements (actually drew the routes on papers), or mental simulation. They then were asked to reconstruct the routes with sticks. Participants who moved their hands (either in the form of gestures or actual drawing) recalled better than those who mentally simulated the routes and those who did not rehearse, suggesting that hand movements produced during rehearsal facilitate encoding of spatial relation. Interestingly, participants who gestured the routes in the air recalled better than those who drew them on papers, suggesting that gesture, as a kind of representational action, exerts more powerful influence on spatial relation encoding.

Introduction Spatial knowledge consists of three major skills, including spatial visualization, spatial relation, and spatial orientation (Lohman, 1979). The present study focuses on spatial relation. Understanding relational information enables us to form a spatial representation regarding relation between locations, objects, and paths. Such understanding is particularly useful when we are processing spatial information of how starting points and destinations are considered in relation to one another. Therefore, developing techniques to facilitate encoding of spatial relation has received increasing attention from cognitive and educational psychologists all over the world. In the present study, we examine whether embodied movements like gestures might be effective in encoding spatial relation. Previous research has shown that producing gestures is directly involved in encoding new information but those studies focused on mathematics domain. Children who were told to gesture when explaining their solutions to a math problem benefited more from the subsequent math lesson, compared to children who were told not to gesture (Broaders, Cook, Mitchell, & Goldin-Meadow, 2007). Children who were instructed to reproduce teacher’s gestures while acquiring new mathematics concepts learnt and memorized mathematics knowledge better than did those who were instructed to reproduce teacher’s verbal instructions only (Cook, Mitchell, & Goldin-Meadow, 2008). However, no experimental work has examined whether gestures strengthen spatial relation encoding. Gestures are spontaneous hand movements. They are produced in space, and thus are inherently spatial (McNeill, 1992; 2005). Therefore, learners can exploit the spatial properties of gestures to encode spatial relation between the starting point and destination. For example, when encoding spatial sequence of a route, learners may trace the steps with an index finger in the air by moving it to the right, upwards, and to the right again. In fact, gestures and spatial relation are tightly linked. Previous studies have shown that speakers produce co- speech gestures (gestures that are co-occurring with speech) when they convey spatial relation to listeners in speech. For example, they use co-speech gestures to depict spatial layout of an area (Emmorey, Tversky & Taylor, 2000) and spatial arrangement of objects (Sauter, Uttal, Alman, Goldin- Meadow, & Levine, 2012). In addition, previous studies have reported that speakers produce co-speech gestures frequently when they are identifying spatial relation between two characters in narratives (So, Coppola, Liccidarello, & Goldin-Meadow, 2005; So, Kita, & Goldin- Meadow, 2009). They also increase gesture production" @default.
