Effects of referent similarity and communication mode on verbal encoding.
Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, (1967)Аннотация
The Ss in this experiment, working either singly (Monologue condition) or in pairs (Dialogue condition), attempted to solve a problem which required that they communicate information about four color chips. Sets of either Similar or Dissimilar colors were employed. The codability of colors (as measured both by name length and interpersonal agreement) was greater for colors in Dissimilar sets than for those in Similar sets. As measured by interpersonal agreement, but not name length, codability was greater in the Dialogue condition than in the Monologue condition. In addition, for both measures, the two independent variables interacted significantly. The results were discussed in terms of a model of interpersonal communication.
