“…More generally, H&G's emphasis on timely access to information from memory is also consistent with a variety of findings highlighting the impact of cognitive accessibility on language production—often in ways that are independent of purely communicative considerations (for a review, see Arnold, ). Accessibility effects have been found in domains such as word articulation and duration (Bard & Aylett, ; Kahn & Arnold, ), syntax (Ferreira & Dell, ; Slevc, ), reference production (Bard, Hill, Foster, & Arai, ; Fukumura & van Gompel, ; Knutsen & Le Bigot, ), and lexical choices in expert–novice interactions (Jucks, Becker, & Bromme, ). Not all of these findings, of course, emerge from situations involving access to information stored in memory.…”

Horton and Gerrig (2005a) outlined a memory-based processing model of conversational common ground that provided a description of how speakers could both strategically and automatically gain access to information about others through domain-general memory processes acting over ordinary memory traces. In this article, we revisit this account, reviewing empirical findings that address aspects of this memory-based model. In doing so, we also take the opportunity to clarify what we believe this approach implies about the cognitive psychology of common ground, and just as important, what it does not imply. We also highlight related areas of research demonstrating how general cognitive processes can constrain access to relevant knowledge in ways that shape both language production and comprehension.

“…Bard et al [4] use a joint construction task [12] to analyze referring expressions during collaboration, i.e., the use of indefinite/definite expressions ("a/the red triangle"), deictics ("that triangle"), or personal pronouns ("it"). In the task, two players have to construct shapes from basic tangram pieces on separate computer screens.…”

Humans critically depend on permanent verbal and nonverbal interaction-for aligning their mental states, for synchronizing their intentions and goals, and also for performing joint tasks, such as carrying a heavy object together, manipulating of objects in a common workspace, or handing over components and building or assembling larger structures in teams. Typically, physical interaction is initiated by a short joint planning dialog and then further accompanied by a stream of verbal utterances. For obtaining a smooth interaction flow in a given situation, humans typically use all their communication modalities and senses, and this often happens even unconsciously. As we move toward the introduction of robotic co-workers that serve humans-some of them will be humanoids; others will be of a different shape-humans will expect them to be integrated into the

“…Studies have shown that pairs are more efficient and faster at finding a target when their partner's gaze cursor is displayed on their workspace [2,16]. Shared gaze can also increase learning gains for students discussing complex diagrams [18], and it has been shown to serve as an effective referential pointer [1].…”

People utilize eye gaze as an important cue for monitoring attention and coordinating awareness. This study investigates how remote pairs make use of a graphical representation of their partner's eye-gaze during a tightly-coupled collaborative task. Our results suggest that reproducing shared gaze in a remote collaboration setting makes pairs more accurate when referring to linguistically complex objects by facilitating the production of efficient forms of deictic references. We discuss how the availability of gaze influences coordination strategies and implications for the design of shared gaze in remote collaboration systems.
