Accordingly, simulated\r\n\t\t\t\t\tvisual imagery gives rise to observer-viewpoint, whereas simulated motor imagery gives rise to character-viewpoint gestures.\r\n\t\t\t\t\tBecause little is known about whether this relationship is either the product of becoming a competent speaker in different\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcommunicative tasks or exists from an early age, we investigated 4-year-olds. In the first session, 55 children performed three\r\n\t\t\t\t\tdifferent communicative tasks. In the second session, we administered a SON-R non-verbal intelligence test to assess children’s\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcognitive abilities. Results revealed a strong association between the frequency with which children used observer-viewpoints\r\n\t\t\t\t\tgestures and their scores in visual processing abilities. Because the association between gestures and visuospatial cognitive\r\n\t\t\t\t\tabilities was found across three communicative tasks, we can propose that it is a general ability rather than a phenomenon of\r\n\t\t\t\t\ttask-specific discourse competence. We discuss these findings in terms of gestural threshold and cognitive offloading.</jats:p>"}],"publication":"Pragmatics & Cognition","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1075/pc.00040.roh","title":"Four-year-olds’ visuospatial cognitive abilities and their relation to observer‑viewpoint gestures across three\t\t\t\t\tcommunicative tasks","volume":31,"author":[{"first_name":"Ulrich J.","full_name":"Boden, Ulrich J.","last_name":"Boden"},{"full_name":"Kern, Friederike","last_name":"Kern","first_name":"Friederike"},{"full_name":"Koutalidis, Sofia","last_name":"Koutalidis","first_name":"Sofia"},{"first_name":"Olga","last_name":"Abramov","full_name":"Abramov, Olga"},{"full_name":"Nemeth, Anne","last_name":"Nemeth","first_name":"Anne"},{"full_name":"Kopp, Stefan","last_name":"Kopp","first_name":"Stefan"},{"full_name":"Rohlfing, Katharina J.","last_name":"Rohlfing","first_name":"Katharina J."}],"date_created":"2024-12-07T04:19:15Z","publisher":"John Benjamins Publishing Company","date_updated":"2024-12-07T04:21:57Z","intvolume":"        31","page":"49-96","citation":{"ieee":"U.
