This paper explores the influence of communicative interaction on the form of graphical representations. A referential communication task is described which involves exclusively graphical dialogue. In this task subjects communicate about pieces of music by drawing. The drawings produced fall into two basic types: Abstract and Figurative. Three hypotheses are developed about the factors influenc...

Dialogues are usually motivated by some underlying, noncommunicative goal. Participants in a dialogue therefore perform two tasks at once: that of trying to achieve the underlying noncommunicative goal, and that of communicating in order to achieve the associated communicative goal. This is reeected in the fact that dialogues consist not only of elements motivated by the underlying task, but al...

BACKGROUND auditory rehabilitation in deaf children users of sign language. AIM to verify the effects of sound amplification on parent's communicative modalities when interacting with their deaf children.

It has been shown that restrictions on feedback in communicative tasks have an important impact on how speakers ground their communicative acts and the effectiveness of their communication. Generally speaking, the more interlocutors are allowed to interact, the quicker they solve communicative tasks, and the quicker they converge at a linguistic level on referring expressions for objects under ...

This paper shows how agents’ choice in communicative action can be designed to mitigate the effect of their resource limits in the context of particular features of a collaborative planning task. I first motivate a number of hypotheses about effective language behavior based on a statistical analysis of a corpus of natural collaborative planning dialogues. These hypotheses are then tested in a ...

Despite the ambiguity inherent in human communication, people are remarkably efficient in establishing mutual understanding. Studying how people communicate in novel settings provides a window into the mechanisms supporting the human competence to rapidly generate and understand novel shared symbols, a fundamental property of human communication. Previous work indicates that the right posterior...
