When conceptual pacts are broken: Partner-specific effects on the comprehension of referring expressions (2003, background): “Upon hearing the original expressions, addressees touched the target objects equally quickly regardless of speaker (Table 2), replicating Barr and Keysar (2002).”
Toward a mechanistic psychology of dialogue (2004, background): “In fact, Barr and Keysar (2002) found that even when such feedback is removed, listeners who believed themselves to be overhearers automatically aligned their semantic representations with the speaker’s to the same degree as listeners who believed themselves to be addressees.”
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition (2007, unknown): “In adults, effects of referential precedents are less important for conventional nouns (Barr & Keysar, 2002).”
Analyzing ‘visual world’ eyetracking data using multilevel logistic regression (2008, result): “This is consistent with earlier studies eyetracking studies that also report speaker-independent facilitation for repeated descriptions (Barr & Keysar, 2002; Metzing & Brennan, 2003).”
