Scholars have demonstrated that the gestures hearing people produce while they are speaking are systematically made at the ____ time with speech such that language and gesture must be considered "co-expressive".

In relation to his motivational conceptual framework, Higgins (2014) proposes that motivation may even attain its highest levels ____ the later stages of life, subject to the balance and organisation of one's goals in relation to life priorities.
