Gesture in Early Counting: A Developmental Analysis.

Saxe, Geoffrey B.; Kaplan, Rochelle

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v53 n3 p851-54 Dec 1981

This study is an examination of developmental changes in children's use of pointing gestures to achieve an accurate count. Based on the data gathered, it is argued that the functional relation between the recitation of number names and children's pointing gestures in counting changes over the course of development.
