Data: Dr. Kristen Bottema-Beutel and Dr. Gabrielle Oliviera from Boston College will be presenting data on Question-Response-Evaluation (QRE) sequences in the home interactions of a bilingual child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We will focus on QRE sequences within interactions between a 5-year old bilingual child with ASD and his parents. In these sequences, the adult poses known-answer questions, the child responds, and the adult evaluates the response. QRE sequences are primarily structured by the questioner (i.e., the parents in our context), so we will focus on the interactive work done by parents to initiate, maintain, and close these sequences.

Data: Our next data session will be lead by Dr. Chris Pudlinski. The data is from a collection of peer support warm lines calls. The current research interest is moments of extended silence within these calls. There are four different environments in which multiple longer silences occur: difficult/emotional topics; caller reluctance to share “bad” news; call taker as “active” listener; and call taker as “inattentive” listener. The audio data is of “inattentive” listening. This is the most problematic of these environments, one in which extended conspicuous lapses occur where call taker response is clearly expected.
