Gesture is a form of nonverbal communication that involves movement of the body, hands, arms, or face to convey meaning and can supplement verbal communication and is often used in place of words when speaking a different language and can also be used to express emotions such as happiness, anger, surprise, or sadness, and are often culturally specific and vary from one culture to another. For example, a thumbs up gesture may mean “good job” in some cultures while it may mean “go away” in others. In addition to being an important form of communication between people, it has been studied by researchers as an indication of cognitive processes like problem solving and decision making.
