| Abstract |
We devised a measure based on predictions of a conversation partner's opinion in order to approximate communicative success in an unrestricted conversation with or without access to visual information. We validated this prediction-based measure against our intuitions that participants would have lower prediction errors in conversations where the participants rated that they contributed more and were more engaged in. Our results show that visual information in the form of images accompanying the conversation topics decreased the prediction errors of the participants, but only for images that were rated as helpful. |
