An intentional stance modulates the integration of gesture and speech during comprehension

摘要: The present study investigates whether knowledge about the intentional relationship between gesture and speech influences controlled processes when integrating two modalities at comprehension. Thirty-five adults watched short videos of that conveyed semantically congruous incongruous information. In half videos, participants were told intentionally coupled (i.e., produced by same communicator), in other half, they not different communicators). When knew communicator gesture, there was a larger bi-lateral frontal central N400 effect to words versus with gesture. However, communicators gesture--that is, meant go together--the only right-hemisphere regions. results demonstrate pragmatic modulates neural during integration modalities.
