    "abstract": "Fluent conversation is a marvel of multi-tasking within the\nlanguage domain: listeners must simultaneously comprehend\nthe speaker, predict a turn transition point, and plan a\nresponse. Experiment 1 used spontaneous conversation to\ninvestigate the apparent demands of conversation on working\nmemory by manipulating the difficulty of a secondary task.\nThe experiment found support for Load Theory's (e.g., Lavie\net al. 2004) prediction that both conversational fluency and\nperformance on a secondary task would decrease as working\nmemory load increased. However, there was also some\nsupport for Pickering and Garrod's (2004, 2013) proposal that\ndialogue is facilitated by a collection of automatic cognitive\noperations when interlocutors are well-aligned (i.e., using the\nsame words, phrases, and structures to discuss the same\ntopics). Experiment 2 tested two claims motivated by this\naccount: alignment is necessary for fluent turn transitions, and\nlexical repetition between speakers is an essential component\nof the alignment advantage. We found support for the former\nclaim, but not the latter.",
