New research paper

We have a new paper coming out in Frontiers in Psychology. This paper looks at how communication challenges such as the presence of a speech disorder or a foreign-accent can disrupt conversational entrainment and communication success in spoken dialogue. The results suggest that the study of conversational entrainment in speech pathology will have essential implications for both scientific theory and clinical application in this domain.
