{"pk":27340,"title":"Manual Response Dynamics Reflect Rapid Integration of Intonational Informationduring Reference Resolution","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Intonation plays an integral role in comprehending spoken lan-guage. It encodes post-lexical pragmatic functions such as sen-tence modality and discourse contexts. The present experimentinvestigates how and when listeners integrate intonational in-formation to anticipate reference resolution. While most workon the real-time processes of intonation-based intention recog-nition has utilized eye tracking, the present study uses themouse tracking paradigm, a valuable complementary methodto investigate the time course of speech processing. Partici-pants had to choose an interpretation based on pre-recorded in-structions containing different intonation contours. Recordingsof the x,y coordinates of participants’ computer mouse move-ments reveal that listeners integrate intonational informationrapidly as soon as they become available and anticipate poten-tial referential interpretations early on.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"intonation"},{"word":"reference resolution"},{"word":"mouse tracking"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4rc3570t","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Timo","middle_name":"B.","last_name":"Roettger","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cologne","department":""},{"first_name":"Mathias","middle_name":"","last_name":"Stoeber","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cologne","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/27340/galley/16976/download/"}]}
