The technique also helped students learn better than students who received instruction that was the same in speech and gesture, the researchers report in an article, “Children Learn When Their Teacher’s Gestures and Speech Differ,” published in the current issue of “Psychological Science” <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/509873/?sc=dwhp " target="blank">www.newswise.com/articles/view/509873/?sc=dwhp </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
