Listeners assess remembered information credibility using speech cues like intonation, but not pause length. Listening strategies also impact how speech features affect credibility judgments, highlighting nuances in conversational information processing.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Linguistics
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Credibility assessment of conversational information is crucial.
  • Listeners often rely on utterance surface features (e.g., pause, intonation) for credibility judgments.
  • The impact of these features on delayed judgments requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if speech surface features affect delayed credibility judgments of remembered information.
  • To examine how listening strategies influence these judgments.
  • To determine the effect of utterance type (intonation, pause) on delayed credibility assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Participants listened to conversational utterances.
  • Credibility judgments were assessed after a delay.

  • Analysis focused on the influence of intonation and pause length, considering different listening strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Intonation significantly influences credibility judgments of remembered information.
    • The effect of intonation is moderated by the listener's strategy.
    • Listeners struggle to utilize or recall pause length for delayed credibility judgments.

    Conclusions:

    • Intonation is a persistent cue for credibility, but its impact is strategy-dependent.
    • Pause length is a less reliable cue for delayed credibility assessment.
    • Understanding these factors is key to improving information credibility monitoring in conversations.
