Self-, other- and joint monitoring in monologue and dialogue : School of Psychology Colloquium Other events...
Abstract

In the psychology of language, most accounts of self-monitoring assume that it is based on comprehension. Here I outline and develop the alternative account proposed by Pickering and Garrod (2013), in which speakers construct forward models of their upcoming utterances and compare them with the utterance as they produce them. In this proposal speakers compute inverse models derived from the discrepancy (error) between the utterance and the predicted utterance and use that to modify their production command or (occasionally) begin anew. In turn listeners monitor other people's speech by simulating their utterances using covert imitation and forward models, and then comparing those forward models with what they hear. They use the discrepancy to compute inverse models and modify their representation of the speaker's production command or realise that their representation is incorrect and may develop a new production command. I then discuss monitoring in dialogue, paying attention to turn-taking, concurrent feedback, and the relationship between monitoring and alignment.
