The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of filled pauses (uh) on the verification of words and the establishment of causal connections during the comprehension of spoken expository discourse. With this aim, we asked Spanish-speaking students to listen to excerpts of interviews with writers, and to perform a word-verification task and a question-answering task on causal connectivity. There were two versions of the excerpts: filled pause present and filled pause absent. Results indicated that filled pauses increased verification times for words that preceded them, but did not make a difference on response times to questions on causal connectivity. The results suggest that, as signals of delay, filled pauses create a break with surface information, but they do not have the same effect on the establishment of meaningful connections.
本研究的目的是考察填充停顿（呃）在口语说明性话语理解过程中对单词验证以及因果关系建立的影响。出于这一目的，我们要求讲西班牙语的学生收听作家访谈的节选内容，并完成一项单词验证任务和一项关于因果关系的问答任务。节选内容有两个版本：存在填充停顿的版本和不存在填充停顿的版本。结果表明，填充停顿增加了其之前单词的验证时间，但对因果关系问题的回答时间没有影响。结果表明，作为延迟信号，填充停顿与表面信息形成了中断，但它们对有意义联系的建立没有同样的影响。
