Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that models that explicitly represent the notion that accommodation occurs over a span of time with consistency of momentum will achieve better success at distinguishing between Real Pairs and Constructed Pairs than models that do not.
experimental Manipulation: using the model we have just described, we are able to test our hypothesis using a 2 × 3 factorial design in which one factor is the inclusion of direct links from the style of one speaker to the style of the other speaker, which we refer to as the DirectInfluence (DI) factor, with values True (T) and False (F), and the second factor is the inclusion of links from style states to and from Accommodation states, which we refer to as the IndirectInfluence (II) factor, with values False (F), Asymmetric (A), and Symmetric (S).
