Interactive Models of Collaborative Communication
Michael Matessa · eScholarship (California Digital Library) · 2001
The collaborative nature of communication has been demonstrated by research on the increased efficiency (Hupet & Chantraine, 1992) and the adaptive behavior (Giles, Mulac, Bradac, & Johnson, 1987) of interacting pairs, but these two lines of research have never been explicitly related.This paper reports empirical results showing that adaptively matching word use can increase communication efficiency and also gives an ACT-R (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) modeling account of the processes involved.
