Sample
Non-verbal communietition clarification
? Script:
So to finish up, I'm going to list five things that differentiate verbal and nonverbal communication. I'd like you to note them down. First, while spoken languages differ from country to country, emotions are communicated in much the same nonverbal way throughout the world. Second, although we know a lot about the grammar of spoken language, we still don't know a lot about the grammar of N.V.C.
? OK, so the baby looks at the doll. Then the researcher lowers a screen in front of the doll, so now the doll is hidden behind the screen.
? The researcher takes a second doll and very obviously places it behind the screen with the first one.
? What the researchers did was they secretly took away one of the dolls. And then when they raised the screen back up…
? They recorded the baby's eye movements on camera.

Mathematical Capabilities of Babies
Using the research described by the professor, explain what scientists have learned about the mathematical abilities of babies.
And fourth, we can ask for repetition or
clarification of what somebody has said, but it's practically impossible to ask, “Could you repeat that smile?” or “What does that facial expression mean?”
? We have to understand nonverbal communication the first time around. And finally, we can hide our true feelings with spoken language, but it's more difficult with N.V.C. We can't just stop ourselves from turning red, or slow down our heartbeat,
? Third, we don't have any dictionaries for N.V.C. If you go to a foreign country and
somebody makes a hand gesture you don't
understand, there's no dictionary to help you.
