<br/>   abstract  = {Recent endeavors have successfully tried to equip dialogue systems with
hesitations [1][2]. Hesitations are useful when it comes to buying dialogue time or
to support listeners in comprehension [2]. It has been found that hesitations furthermore
create a bias towards complicated concepts [3]. In addition, one particular
hesitation, namely lengthening, has gotten comparably little attention in research,
despite its subtlety enables it to buy dialogue time without degrading sound quality
[4]. In this paper, we investigate whether the hesitation bias can be replicated in
click tasks with ambiguous and complex color terms as hard-to-describe entities,
that have audio instructions with and without hesitations. We hypothesize that,
analogous to the studies by Arnold [3], listeners will infer that the target referent is
a complicated rather than a simple color term when the instruction contains a hesitation.
While our studies cannot replicate the hesitation bias, we provide valuable
insights into the interaction between hesitations and speech processing as well as
methodological considerations for future research.},
