Thacker When it is apt to adapt: Flexible reasoning guides children's use of talker identity and disfluency cues 2018 15 .pdf application/pdf 8624 682 55 An eye-tracking methodology was used to examine whether children flexibly engage two voice-based cues, talker identity and disfluency, during language processing. was to examine whether children use recently presented preference information even when utterances are purely ostensive in nature such as simply directing listeners to ''look" at an object in the display. In the current study, we explored the simultaneous use of disfluency and talker identity information to more fully understand the nature of children's situation-specific reasoning during language The first experiment was designed to provide a test of children's ability to combine the two paralinguistic cues of interest (talker identity and disfluency) and to evaluate their ability to adapt their use of Average proportion of looks to talker-preferred object during the determiner interval for both fluent and disfluent trial At the point when the fluent or disfluent determiner was encountered, children initially demonstrated an ability to use talker identity cues to guide their interpretation of a hesitation disfluency. ./cache/work_n6e2b2a7hfek5mijm7rziwgm64.pdf ./txt/work_n6e2b2a7hfek5mijm7rziwgm64.txt
