Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Pearson correlations showed the number of interactive gestures was positively correlated with originality (r = 0.513) and fluency (r = 0.439) under BOTH, and fluid gestures with fluency under BOTH (r = 0.534) and ONE (r = 0.687). → Xinyue Wang 2024

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Correlational analysis within the same 27-dyad RPP experiment. The article also reports fluid gestures correlating with RPP fluency under BOTH (r = 0.534, P = 0.004) and ONE (r = 0.687, P < 0.001), showing "the number of fluid gestures was positively correlated with RPP fluency".

"Pearson’s correlation showed that the number of interactive gestures was positively correlated with originality and fluency under the ‘BOTH’ condition (Originality: r = 0.513, P = 0.006; Fluency: r = 0.439, P = 0.022;"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Dyads in which both participants could gesture produced higher team originality and more combined ideas than dyads in which one or neither could gesture — related
• Fluid gestures accompany the superior intra-brain state (State 1) of the gesturing participant, whose occurrence rate correlates with fluency — related
• When only one participant could gesture, that participant used fewer interactive and more fluid gestures than the per-person rate under BOTH — related
