<div>
<p>Language does not lend itself to talking about space. Space is continuous, language is discrete. As a result, there are gaps in our talk about space. Because gesture can capture continuous information, it has the potential to fill in those gaps. And, indeed, when people talk about space, they gesture. These gestures often convey information not found in the words they accompany, and thus provide a unique window onto spatial knowledge. But gestures do not only reflect a speaker's understanding of space, they also have the potential to play a role in changing that understanding and thus play a role in learning.</p>
