Michael Rosen and linguist Dr Laura Wright: Taking turn in conversation

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06zryhp

How do we learn to take turns in conversation?

• 200 millisecond gap between taking turns (fifth of a second)
• shortest human response time
• 600milliseconds to name a picture
• predicting what the other persons going to say
• preparing before they finish talking
• rising intonations
• Multitasking -preparing answer and listening at the same time
• 15000 times a day
• saying no(negative response) - takes longer than saying yes because its harder
• Predictions use grammar, collocations e.g inland ----- revenue
• cues given early in questions lead to quicker answers compared to cues given 
• Learn turn-taking at 3 months (reciprocity) 600 milliseconds
