Her research revolves around the subjective hedonic feelings associated with rewards and punishments, and individual differences in the subjective experience of pain and pleasure.

It highlights their impact on expressing emotions, relational standing, and cultural norms. Nonverbal cues can complement, replace, or contradict verbal messages and are influenced by cultural context.

Each section elaborates on how these nonverbal signals are used, their categories, such as gestures and facial expressions under kinesics or the types of touch under haptics, and the impact they may have on communication.

If she didn’t look at her arms and legs they could just “wander off” without her knowing—initially she was unable to walk, and even after she relearned this skill she was so dependent on her visual attention that closing her eyes would cause her to land in a hopeless heap on the floor.

If you first say, “Click on the tab,” and then motion with your hand to the right, indicating that the customer should move the cursor arrow with the mouse to the tab, your repetition can help the listener understand the message.
