🧪 Our Behavioral Findings:
👉Specificity & concreteness explain unique variance in Lexical decision (word recognition) and Semantic decision (meaning judgment)
👉In conversations, specificity shapes:
👉👉How much clarification a word needs.
👉👉Plausibility of follow-up responses (curiosity vs. closure).
