Initiated VOCA-mediated turns frequently resulted in interactional problems. Naturally speaking peers appeared to exploit the resources of sequential context of the prior turn for understanding the meaning of initiated VOCA-mediated turns. Therefore, challenges in understanding occurred when the initiated VOCA-mediated turn did not relate to the speaking child\u2019s prior turn. The authors proposed that communication partner challenges in understanding initiated VOCA-mediated turns may explain the motivation behind conversational asymmetries reported in the literature; the frequent use of questions and meta-interactional prompts by speaking partners may be used to create conversational slots for aided speakers that optimally facilitate the use of sequential context for understanding VOCA-mediated utterances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarke, M., &amp; Wilkinson, R.
