Document Summary
The communication of emotions is central to play, grieving, arguing, soothing, status. Some forms of non verbal communication can follow different emotional feelings; even those from the opposite valence. Non verbal gestures that directly translate to words. Non verbal gesture that accompanies speech, to make it vivid and visual. Non verbal behaviours that we use to coordinate conversation. Turn to and away from those we wish to and don"t wish to talk to respectively. Nervous behaviours people engage in with no seeming intention. Neck touching, hair tugging, leg bouncing, chin stroking. Face, voice, body, and touch that convey emotion. Involve involuntary muscle actions that people cannot produce or suppress at will. Have different neuroanatomical basis than voluntary facial actions. Should have parallels in the displays of other species part of darwin"s theory bitch! Studies of the universality of facial expressions. Principle of serviceable habits = expressive behaviours that have led to rewards will happen again in the future.
