The term for this type of nonverbal behaviour is "emblem", which refers to a gesture or movement that has a specific meaning in a particular culture or group. In Canadian culture, nodding up and down is widely recognized as an emblematic gesture for "yes." Adaptor refers to movements or behaviors that serve a personal or physical purpose, such as scratching an itch or adjusting one's clothing. Confirmator and nonlinguistic code are not commonly used terms in the context of nonverbal communication.
