In a mismatch, the child conveys two distinct ideas about the very same problem. If given instruction in the task, children who produce mismatches are likely to profit from that instruction–more likely than children who do not produce mismatches. Gesture-speech mismatches are not unique to 6-year-olds, however. They are produced by toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged children, adolescents, and even adults. Nor are mismatches restricted to water puzzles; they can be found in spontaneous talk, narratives, reasoning about math and physics problems, moral dilemmas, and many other"() the fs, What might cause speakers to produce gestu re-speech mismatches in particular, and gestures in general? What functions, if any, do the gestures that accompany speech serve? In this review, I summarize a line of research suggesting that gesture plays a role as a unique index of learners" thoughts, and perhaps as a mechanism for change as well.
