    "title": "Designing Referential Descriptions for Children, Young Adults, and Computers: A\nComprehensive Examination of Talker Informativity",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Research on referential communication has explored talkers’\nability to tailor descriptions for the current context. The present\nstudy examines this issue alongside talker adaptations for\ndifferent addressees. Participants were asked to provide a\nchild, adult, or computer with instructions to select and move\nobjects on a display. Each target object was either unique or\naccompanied by a same-category competitor. Targets in the\nlatter condition could be differentiated with either a modifier\nor subordinate term. In addition to examining speech onset\nlatencies, we analyzed referential descriptions for\ninformational adequacy (just enough, underinformative,\noverinformative), noun type (basic-level or subordinate), and\nincidence/type of modifiers. The most noticeable effects were\nobserved when addressing children, with participants using\nmore basic terms and more modifiers (particularly color).\nThese results reveal the spontaneous adaptation of referential\nstrategies according to audience type, providing evidence for\nmodels of language in which speakers actively consider\naddressees' needs and cognitive abilities.",
