After the listener has made their selection, both participants will receive feedback on trial success."
Unstructured communicative interaction
"Two interlocutors, one with ALS and their caregiver will work together. The pairs will be presented with two different versions of the same picture with eight differences chosen to elicit the same target segments (e.g., hid, ship, net). These pictures will be modified from the LUCID corpus. In total, pairs will complete four picture sets per session. Pairs will be given 5 minutes for each picture set."
