{"pk":27131,"title":"Perspective-Taking in Referential Communication: Does Stimulated Attention to\nAddressee’s Perspective Influence Speakers’ Reference Production?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We investigated whether speakers’ referential communication\nbenefits from an explicit focus on addressees’ perspective.\nDyads took part in a referential communication game and were\nallocated to one of three experimental settings. Each of these\nsettings elicited a different perspective mindset (none, self-\nfocus, other-focus). In the two perspective settings, speakers\nwere explicitly instructed to regard their addressee’s (other-\nfocus) or their own (self-focus) perspective before construing\ntheir referential message. Results indicated that eliciting\nspeakers’ self- versus other-focus did not influence their\nreference production. We did find that speakers with an elicited\negocentric perspective reported a higher perspective-taking\ntendency than speakers in the other two settings. This tendency\ncorrelated with actual referring behavior during the game,\nindicating that speakers who reported a high perspective-taking\ntendency were less likely to make egocentric errors such as\nleaking information privileged to speakers themselves. These\nfindings are explained using the objective self-awareness\ntheory.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"perspective-taking; referential communication;\negocentricity bias; privileged information."}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8492m4qv","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Debby","middle_name":"","last_name":"Damen","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg University","department":""},{"first_name":"Per","middle_name":"","last_name":"van der Wijst","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg University","department":""},{"first_name":"Marije","middle_name":"","last_name":"van Amelsvoort","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg University","department":""},{"first_name":"Emiel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Krahmer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27131/galley/16767/download/"}]}
