I was wondering how body language is recognized ? Shouldn't be different from one to another?
I have found that some gestures are inborn; which mean they are known to the babies once they are
delivered. Smiling ,for example, is inborn gesture because it has been observed on deaf blind babies.
Another example is shaking head to say "No". babies are learning that when they get enough milk from their mothers' breasts.
There are some universal gestures. For example, most men put on a coat right arm first while most women put it on left arm first. That shows which part of the brain both of them are using. Another example, shoulder shrug which shows submission greeting is a universal gesture, too.
Can the body language be faked??
The answer will be given next time ..
That is very interesting, especially the smiling gesture.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. I've known that people have inborn body language, but the case that smiling was observed on deaf blind babies is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed, too. :D
ReplyDeleteIt helps me to understand my own gesture more :)
