- New paper with @dilaykaradoller.bsky.social & @asliozyurek.bsky.social We show that multimodal message presentation in speech & gesture places different demands on children’s visual attention to spatial scenes than unimodal message preparation in speech
- Children sustain their attention on spatial scenes when planning to describe spatial relations multimodally in speech and gesture. New paper by @ercenurunal.bsky.social , @dilaykaradoller.bsky.social & @asliozyurek.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/desc.70128

- New paper in Cognitive Science! We show evidence for the joint role of cognitive complexity & modality of expression for the development of spatial language. @cogscisociety.bsky.social
- New paper out !!Children use spatial gestures to complement speech more for complex than simpler spatial relations - gestures might reduce mapping difficulties of complex spatial concepts to arbitrary speech symbols - in Cognitive Science !! @ercenurunal.bsky.social @dilaykaradoller @beyzasumer
