why there is mismatch between speech and action? Should the mismatch exist?

Answer 1

A mismatch between speech and action identifies the character of a person. A hypocrite does not practice what he preaches, while a man of character and integrity acts as per his speech.

Answer 2

Speech always preludes the action. Speech is always theoretical and action is a practical one.

To state with simple things, a child can say that i am going to catch the moon, which is disproved when it tried - action.

But, in matured status, it is ones duty to check all the possible ways and then speak abt it. But, still exceptions will be there in the form of unexpected hurdles during the action.

So, it is better not to speak much before u show it in action.

Although generally studied in isolation, language and action often co-occur in everyday life. Here we investigated one particular form of simultaneous language and action, namely speech and gestures that speakers use in everyday communication. In a functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we identified the neural networks involved in the integration of semantic information from speech and gestures. Verbal and/or gestural content could be integrated easily or less easily with the content of the preceding part of speech. Premotor areas involved in action observation (Brodmann area [BA] 6) were found to be specifically modulated by action information "mismatching" to a language context. Importantly, an increase in integration load of both verbal and gestural information into prior speech context activated Broca's area and adjacent cortex (BA 45/47). A classical language area, Broca's area, is not only recruited for language-internal processing but also when action observation is integrated with speech. These findings provide direct evidence that action and language processing share a high-level neural integration system.

Answer 4

it depends on your concentration. if totally concentrated, there shall be no mismatch. but when you age up, you have many things in mind, there can be slipages and mis match.
