If it is true that gestures can have an important function in the communication of pictorial information then it would be expected that people from high gesture cultures would be relatively disadvantaged if in such communication the use of gestures was inhibited. Previous research has failed to demonstrate this effect. However, that research is open to methodological criticisms. In particular, by allowing subjects to draw a diagram from the description being given by another person at the same time as the description was proceeding rather than when the description was complete, previous researchers have made it possible for subjects to obtain high accuracy by treating the task as one of eye-hand co-ordination. In this study, it is demonstrated that subjects from the Italian culture perform significantly better than subjects from the Australian culture when difficult diagrammatic material is being communicated and subjects may commence their drawings only when the diagram is complete. The failure of previous studies to demonstrate a differential effectiveness in the use of gestures by high-and low-gesture cultures is attributed to a methodological problem. |
