PART I
In countries such as Japan, China, India, and Iran there are gestures that convey different meanings in comparison with gestures we use in the United States. Find an example of a gesture from any country of the world that you did not know about. Provide a link and/or explain the gesture, the meaning, and compare (why or why not we interpret it differently or it does not exist in the United States). You may refer to gestures presented in the “Word of Gestures” video.
Based Novack et al. (2017) “Gesture as representational action” article, how can gestures lead learners to new ideas or concepts? Please explain in your own words but be specific.
PART II
First, watch video “Understanding and detecting deception” by Dr. Norah Dunbar and read Edward Hall’s article on deception detection. Then, respond to the following questions in specific, concrete, complete, and clear manner:
According to Dr. Dunbar, what is “response latency” and how does it relate to deception?
According Dr. Dunbar, why “gaze aversion” is not in the list of deception cues?
