Q: Which pacing style/s is/are present in the conversation in Pacing Clip 1?
- turn-taking and pausing (You got it! The pausing is clear. It's possible that the person who speaks at the beginning is an overlapper, but the fact that she waits when someone finally speaks points to turn-taking.)
- overlapping and turn-taking (Not quite - Overlapping is very fast-paced and emotionally engaged. Try again.)
- pausing and overlapping (Not quite - Overlapping is very fast-paced and emotionally engaged. Try again.)
- turn-taking only (Partly right - Turn-taking is definitely present. You are missing something else though. Try again.)
A: turn-taking and pausing

Q: How did you feel watching this conversation (or how would you feel if you had been taking part in the conversation yourself)?
Feedback: Comfort with pacing styles is mostly a result of cultural training - we tend to feel comfortable with the types of communication we experience most often, that is, those that are common in our cultural contexts. If you were uncomfortable waiting for someone else to speak, you're not alone. If you valued the pause, chances are you have personal experience with pausing, either because that is your own preference or because you have learned to value it through others.
