Iconic gestures are hand movements that depict motion and shape (eg, wiggling the index and middle fingers to depict walking). People naturally produce iconic gestures while speaking (McNeill 1992), and children understand the meaning of such gestures by age 3; 00 (Stanfield, Williamson, and Özçalışkan 2013). Iconic gestures that depict people’s actions (eg, walking) may influence how children process action events (eg, a person walking) and associate verbs with these events (eg, to walk). My dissertation describes a collection of empirical studies on how seeing iconic gestures facilitates action event memory and verb learning in pre-school-aged children (Mage= 3; 06, range= 2; 11–4; 02), in tasks that have proven to be difficult for this age group (Imai, Haryu and Okada 2005).First, I developed and normed a stimuli database that contains 702 videos of action events and iconic gestures (Aussems, Kwok, and Kita 2017a). Videos of action events showed actors moving across the length of a scene in unusual manners (eg, quick upward kicking of the legs), and videos of iconic gestures showed an experimenter producing iconic gestures that depicted how the actors moved (eg, alternating the hands in a quick up and downward motion as if the hands represent the leg kicks). My first empirical chapter describes four norming experiments with adult participants, which assessed how well the iconic gestures matched and mismatched the actors’ renditions of the unusual movements (N= 293), how similar different actors performed the same unusual movements (N= 40), how distinct each unusual movement was relative to all other movements (N= 222), and how difficult it was for English native speakers to describe the movements (N= 24). This stimuli database is useful for experimental psychologists working on language and gesture; thus, I made the database and norming data openly available (Aussems, Kwok, and Kita 2017b). I used a selection of videos with the best overall norms in my experiments with children.
