Conversational Congruence as a Criterion of Socialization in Children

Welkowitz, Joan; And Others

Child Development, 47, 1, 269-272, Mar 76

Tests the hypothesis that the extent to which the durations of pauses (silences within the utterances of a single speaker) and switching pauses (silences between the utterances of 2 speakers) in the speech of children in conversation become similar (i.e., exhibit conversational congruence) is positively related to age.
