In pursuit of the nature of gesture, Condon observed synchrony of the body with speech sound within speakers and between speaker and listener. His work aroused interest on first publication in the ‘60s and ‘70s, but most researchers failed to replicate the results and interest waned. This paper presents a successful replication of the original research with updated methodology. A review of the original research is also presented as context for the replication.
