Our gestures can reveal and contradict us, and express thoughts we may not even know we're thinking. \u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThinking with Your Hands\u003c\/i\u003e, esteemed cognitive psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow argues that gesture is vital to how we think, learn, and communicate. She shows us, for instance, how the height of our gestures can reveal unconscious bias, or how the shape of a student's gestures can track their mastery of a new concept--even when they're still giving wrong answers.
