Gaze behaviour and vocal feedback in task-based dyadic conversations with and without eye contact

Human communication is multimodal, with verbal and non-verbal cues such as eye gaze and vocal feedback being crucial for managing interactions. While much research has focused on eye gaze and turn alternation, few studies explore its relationship with turn-regulating vocal feedback. This study inves...

While much research has focused on eye gaze and turn alternation, few studies explore its relationship with turn-regulating vocal feedback. This study investigates this interplay during a Tangram game in Italian under two visibility conditions: face-to-face and separated by a screen. The results show that feedback producers rarely look at receivers, while receivers more frequently look at producers, suggesting that they might be eliciting vocal feedback. Without visual contact, gaze shifts decrease and vocal feedback increases. Interestingly, when visual contact is absent, gaze directed towards where the addressee is sitting does not coincide with vocal feedback, raising questions about what prompts this gaze.This research was funded by the Cluster Development Program Language Challenges, a funding line within the Excellent Research Support Program of the University of Cologne, and the German Research Foundation (DFG), grant number 281511265, SFB 1252 Prominence in Language.Frontiers Media2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://doi.org/10.3389/fcomm.2025.1524453https://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/468094reponame:Repositori Obert UdL instname:Universitat de Lleida (UdL)InglésReproducció del document publicat a https://doi.org/10.3389/fcomm.2025.1524453Frontiers in Communication, 2025, vol. 10, núm. 1524453, p. 1-16cc-by (c) Sbranna et al., 2025Attribution 4.0 Internationalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/oai:repositori.udl.cat:10459.1/4680942026-06-24T12:42:17Z
