A gesture schema is a mental representation of a gesture.

How do dance and language interact in the brain?

  1. They are processed in separate brain regions.

  2. They share neural pathways.

  3. They compete for neural resources.

  4. They have no interaction.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dance and language share neural pathways in the brain.

What is the term for the phenomenon where dance movements can influence language comprehension?

  1. Dance-language interaction

  2. Dance-language interference

  3. Dance-language facilitation

  4. Dance-language competition


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Dance-language facilitation is the phenomenon where dance movements can influence language comprehension.

What is the term for the phenomenon where language can influence dance movements?

  1. Language-dance interaction

  2. Language-dance interference

  3. Language-dance facilitation

  4. Language-dance competition


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Language-dance facilitation is the phenomenon where language can influence dance movements.
