body language

Last week’s lecture about the role signals from non I function processing was very intriguing.  I was particularly interested in the significance of body language.  When I was first learning Spanish, I always found it easier to understand what was going on if we were asked to do an exercise based off of a video as opposed to from just an audio source.  I also noticed how much I depend on body language when I communicate with others when I had an interview over the phone.  Never before had I realized how useful it is to know whether someone is agreeing with you by nodding or smiling.  On the other hand, I didn’t realize how much I relied on body language to express my own agreement, disagreement, or understanding.
