abstract = {We have created a strategic card game as a framework to elicit hesitations
under varying degrees of cognitive load. In this study we investigate whether
there is a special role of property words with regard to hesitations. We have shown
that our framework elicits unusually large amounts of hesitations, now we investigate
whether property words, specifically, color words exhibit a "magnetism" for
hesitations. We assume this because our game setup dictates that colors are the
main objects that participants have to consider, so it could be that hesitations gravitate
towards the concepts that speakers think about. Another aspect that we regard
in this study is the question whether it is possible to build a simple classifier that can
detect hesitation lengthening on said color words using read samples as a baseline.
To foreshadow the results, we do not observe a "hesitation magnetism" of property
words, and the simple classification method exhibits high recall but low precision.},
