The Power of Gestures
Gestures play a crucial role in communication, as the human brain tends to trust gestures over spoken words. This phenomenon is partly due to the difficulty of lying through body language; gestures often betray genuine emotions that words may mask. For example, when asked to say a number while holding up another, individuals struggle to maintain consistency, indicating that the brain processes gestures separately from verbal communication. Therefore, effective communicators often utilize gestures intentionally to enhance their interactions.
