The term emblem refers to specific nonverbal behaviors that have a precise meaning in a culture. Nodding your head up and down to signify "yes" is an example of an emblematic behavior. Adaptors are nonverbal behaviors that indicate a person's internal states, such as scratching your head when you are confused. Confirmators do not exist as a common term in nonverbal communication.
