    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Human communication is multimodal, characterized by the use of speech and co-speech iconic gestures. While previous research examined how cognitive and communicative demands affect multimodal language use, the interplay between speaker-related cognitive constraints and listener-oriented adaptations remains unclear. The present study examines how speakers with varying spatial skills adjust their speech and iconic gestures when addressing interlocutors with different spatial skills. By employing the imagined addressee paradigm, twenty-three participants described how to solve mental rotation problems to interlocutors with low- versus high-spatial skills. Speakers produced more iconic gestures when addressing low-spatial compared to high-spatial interlocutors. However, this adaptation was primarily observed among individuals with above-average spatial skills. These findings extend prior work on multimodal audience design, showing that while speakers adjust their gestures based on listener characteristics, these adaptations are constrained by the speaker's cognitive capacities. This study highlights the dynamic interaction between cognitive and communicative demands in multimodal language.",
