SLOW NOD

The head moves up and down at a deliberate, unhurried pace.

MEANS

Genuine agreement and engagement. The listener is processing and accepting.

CONTEXT

A speaker can encourage agreement by nodding slowly while making a key point. Mirror neurons cause the listener to begin nodding along. Watch for the moment they start: that is the moment of agreement.

NOT

A polite social nod, which is faster and shallower.
