Verbal communication is communication using words, and is therefore the core of most conversations.

Non-verbal communication is also important in that it supplements the verbal conversation. For example, smiling or patting somebody on the back helps the people connect and understand each other.

The standard answer to this is 93% of communication is non-verbal but it is wrong.

The truth is that the experiments at the source of this myth (carried out by researcher Albert Mehrabian in the 70's) were focused on some very specific areas of communication - namely the communication of feelings and attitudes - not communication in general.

A wink is the same as a nod, to a blind person.
