手势影响认知活动的作用机制探析

An analysis of the effect of gesture on cognitive activity

手势与实际动作来源于同一个动作系统,但二者间存在本质差异。手势对个体的问题表征、空间信息编码及问题解决策略有重要影响。文章基于已有理论及研究成果,明确了手势的内涵,分析了手势与实际动作的认知功能差异,进一步剖析了手势影响认知活动的作用机制。未来研究应当关注手势使用的个体差异、手势在教学情境下的应用、手势影响认知活动的神经机制、手势的适应性以及手势功能的文化差异等问题。

Gestures and actual movements come from the same movement system,but there are essential differences between them.Gesture has an important effect on individual problem representation,spatial information encoding and problem solving strategies.Based on the existing theories and research results,this paper clarifies the connotation of gestures,analyzes the cognitive function differences between gestures and actual movements,and further analyzes the mechanism of gestures affecting cognitive activities.Future studies should focus on the individual differences in gesture use,the application of gesture in teaching contexts,the neural mechanism of gesture influence on cognitive activities,the adaptability of gesture and cultural differences in gesture function.
