  • Using hand gestures may be important for more than just making a point; they could help children to learn.
  • Once something is learned, however, it’s a challenge to unlearn and inhibit the reflexive response. That’s why it helps to develop good habits early
  • It’s easier to learn something correctly the first time than it is to unlearn ineffective techniques and relearn better ones.

  • During the task, some of the children instinctively used gestures — making rabbit ears when they knew shape mattered, or moving their palms from facing up to turning sideways when they were sorting by the teddy bear’s orientation — to guide themselves.
  • Earlier work showed that older children were better able to learn math if taught to use gestures while doing so. And they often found the right answer physically — for example, by making movements to signify the numbers that needed to be kept together to add correctly — before finding it verbally
  • The toddlers’ gestures could be interpreted as a glimpse of their brains at work, as they figure out how to exert the cognitive control necessary to complete their tasks.
  • What’s more, she found that this effect had a stronger effect on successful performance than age — a powerful finding given that children’s skills improve rapidly with age during this stage of development.
  • That has implications for improving the way we communicate and think, and could help to address developmental disorders associated with cognitive control issues, such as autism

      One of the key problems of next generation computers and VR systems is human computer interaction (HCI). Nowadays keyboards and touch interfaces are not suitable for such cases.  Gest is a Kickstarter project that enable you to interact with computer using hands. It also provides APIs for developers that can be used for games creation
