Pragmatic Preference for Round Numbers: A Modified Sternberg Paradigm
Speakers' preference for round numbers in conversation is a well known phenomenon in pragmatics and studied within Gricean, neo-Gricean or Relevance theory approaches. In this study processing evidence for this pragmatic phenomenon is sought for in a modified Sternberg paradigm in which participants recall numbers from a list that contains groups of either "precise" numbers (eg. 23, 47...) or "round" numbers (e.g 30, 50...). By controlling memory load between the precise~round number conditions (3-number list, 4-number list, 5-number list...) a pragmatic effect of round number preference will be demonstrated. This amounts to the claim that the results cannot be interpreted in terms of memory load alone, but that the reaction times are partly influenced by the preference for round numbers. This preference might be interpreted by the automatic activation of the pragmatic module in the "human-computer communication".
