Katri saarikivi column: your Body is a chatterbox News

Wait one lights a night without sparsely through the bus. Agent booth stop for future cars, in order to spot the right time. A little difficult it was to see twilight. Eventually appears on the horizon that I knew my own. However, I wasn't sure, and decided to wait, until the number would be displayed clearly. Keep your hands tight on the flanks to catch up. Would be embarrassing to stop the wrong bus.

the Car was already pretty close when I realized that real it is. The same in another kind of strange shame stepped in. “Well, damn, now yes, it's already too close, and he had to brake suddenly, if I refer to!” These unfavorable feelings, guided by ended up unearthly solution. I gave been waiting for the bus to go over, so I had driver trouble. The following income, however, was only about twenty minutes, I would try to see it in time.

fortunately, my bus was transporting a body language genius.

the Car stopped me, and its doors opened. The driver looked me in the eye seriously. I didn't say like “how do you know?” and say thank you. Passengers madness clearly used the driver nodded vacantly, closed the door and continued the journey.

non-verbal body language is born before the words, and thinking is still largely non-linguistic.

people of the world intelligently acting requires the ability to collect data with the walkers of the thoughts and predicts this on the basis of other work. The more information collected the second set, that place more solid predictions can be made, and it smoother cooperation.

Thoughts are not only the head of the internal phenomena, but they reflect the body.

the Gestures and facial expressions to convey accurately information in mind, and people have a varied ability to understand this language. Non-verbal body language is born before the words, and thinking is still largely non-linguistic. Think about it, what do you do in the coming christmas. Tupsahtiko to my mind the words, or perhaps a christmas feeling or a mental image of what you want eve to be?

Thoughts and body connection also works in the other direction: the body affects the mind. In some experiments (switch to another service), subjects will learn the route to the best, if you practice it either by drawing a route on paper or by gesturing the route. Gesturing was plotting a more effective way of learning.

Movement supports thinking, remembering and learning.

the Second (switch to another service) in the experiments the children were able to name objects better, if you were allowed to gesticulate. Gesturing helped the particular language on jumahtaneiden words found.

Even blind people gesticulate (move to another service) in speaking, also to other blind people. See gesticulate, when you write other messages on the net, even if visual contact is not. The movement supports thinking, remembering and learning.

Even if the thinking is embodied, and many things seem to in the body, generated by all human experience, however, in the brain. The body is not itself an emotion, but a different part of the body of the collected sensory information is processed in the brain.

the body language therefore does not pass directly from body to body, but the brain through.

Whether in the brain some kind of body language center?

One of the body language of the figure in terms of the main mechanism is the brain's mirror system. It was found (switch to another service) first, cynomolgus monkeys from the brain. It was found that when the experimenter waved his hand, activated the monkey's motor skills have on the cerebral cortex of the hand movement related cells. This kind of mirror cell you also have people (you move to another service).

mirror cells give us the experience of his own body our model, what another body is experiencing. We simulate the other within ourselves, so that we can better understand them.

probably so the bus driver my the mirror system was activated, when she looked at the strange elehdintää stop. Body movements and facial expressions to the others gathered in his brain, and for those looking for an explanation. What thoughts or intentions would be the driver himself to run around? Super fast body language analysis, revealed to him the contradiction between the idea of the passage – that wants to ride, but decided not to by referring.

When the body talk to each other also in the mother tongue, we get a richer picture of each other's mental landscape, and a better chance each other out. Sometimes this information is not, such as online discussion forums. Information sometimes also forget to collect. For example, in traffic, when pedestrians get contact car etuvaloihin to drive it instead. Or when a motorist pinned closely to the traffic light of the pedestrian's body instead. This body of knowledge is a lack of anticipation. It increases the misunderstandings. With people can stay for the ride.
