How do speakers resist distraction? Evidence from a taboo picture-word interference task.
Even in the presence of irrelevant stimuli, word production is a highly accurate and fluent process. But how do speakers prevent themselves from naming the wrong things?

Alternatively, a verbal self-monitoring system might check speech for accuracy and remove errors stemming from irrelevant information. Beca...

Speakers sometimes avoided linguistic-ambiguity, and they did so equally regardless of whether they also ...

Yet we still know little about the factors that will influence speakers’ choice of a probability phrase over another when they wish to communicate uncertain facts. Using a legal setting, we showed that the quantitative meaning and the directionality of the verbal probability chosen were aff...

The first wave of studies of illusory effects on perception and action have supported...
متن کاملWhy do speakers mix perspectives?
Although considerations of discourse coherence and cognitive processing suggest that communicators should adopt consistent perspectives when describing spatial scenes, in many cases they switch perspectives.
