This research aims to explore how gestures influence object identification, contrasting this with naming objects.
Subjects learned gesture-color associations.
Participants identified objects presented in colors linked to functional gestures, either congruent or incongruent with object use.
The study evaluated congruency effects when gesturing versus naming objects.
A strong congruency effect was noted when subjects gestured the object's use (p<0.05).
No significant effect was observed during object naming.
Preliminary evidence suggests gestures linked to object shape aid in naming.
