Abstract
Classroom orchestration tools rely on research showing when individual or collaborative activities are effective. No prior research has investigated effects of collaboration on perceptual learning, which is nonverbal and inductive. An experiment compared individual learning to nonverbal, gesture-based collaboration on a perceptual training. Results show an advantage of gesture-based collaboration on pre-to-posttest gains, especially for low-spatial skills students.
