ViCom researcher Silva Ladewig was featured in an episode of the children’s podcast Kakadu by Deutschlandfunk Kultur. The episode, titled “Warum nicken wir mit dem Kopf, wenn wir ja sagen?”, explores why people nod their heads to say “yes” and shake their heads to say “no”.
The programme explains how humans communicate not only with words, but also through gestures, facial expressions, and body movements. Silva Ladewig’s research is highlighted as part of this broader question of how we use our hands, head, and face in communication.
The episode is available on the Deutschlandfunk Kultur / Kakadu website and can be listened to here:
