“…By combining temporal precision with the activation of distinct mental subsystems, neuroimaging promises to deepen our understanding of the remarkable skills involved in carrying off conversation. In due course it may also offer important insights into systematic failures of the interactive system in autism, schizophrenia, brain injury, and the like (cf., e.g., Arie, Tartaro, & Cassell, 2008;Goodwin, 2003;O'Reilly, Lester, & Muskett, 2015). That said, it is interesting to note that the neuroimaging research reviewed here has by and large confirmed earlier CA observations, providing converging evidence.…”

This article reviews the prospects for the cross-fertilization of conversation analytic (CA) and neurocognitive studies of conversation, focusing on turn taking. Although conversation is the primary ecological niche for language use, relatively little brain research has focused on interactive language use, partly due to the challenges of using brain-imaging methods that are controlled enough to perform sound experiments but still reflect the rich and spontaneous nature of conversation. Recently, though, brain researchers have started to investigate conversational phenomena-for example, by using "overhearer" or controlled interaction paradigms. We review neuroimaging studies related to turn-taking and sequence organization, phenomena historically described by CA. These studies, for example, show early action recognition and immediate planning of responses midway during an incoming turn. The review discusses studies with an eye to a fruitful interchange between CA and neuroimaging research on conversation and an indication of how these disciplines can benefit from each other.

“…As noted previously, these data should not be treated uncritically; unlike the data used by many conversation analysts (O’Reilly et al 2016), interview data are not naturally occurring and the words spoken in the context of a research interview should not be assumed to map on straightforwardly to interviewees’ thoughts. Nor should scientists’ descriptions of engagement events be assumed unproblematically depict what happens.…”

“…qualitative research…has a great deal to offer in understanding the experiences and practices of individuals with ASD [autism spectrum disorder], families and practitioners; and in gaining knowledge in the areas of communication, behaviour, and social interaction (O’Reilly et al 2016, p. 356).…”

This article draws upon qualitative interviews in order to examine how UK based research psychologists understand public engagement activities and interactions with autistic advocates. Researchers describe public engagement as difficult and understand these difficulties as stemming from autistic impairments. In particular, it is reported that a heterogeneity of autism impairments means there is little agreement on the form research should take, while socio-communicative impairments make interactions difficult. Conversely, researchers describe autistic individuals as having the capacity to positively influence research. In this paper we discuss the nature of these claims and stress the need for autism-specific modes of engagement to be developed.

“…One such approach, conversation analysis (CA), is gaining popularity also in the field of ASD research (e.g. O'Reilly et al 2016). This framework draws on audio-visual recordings of social interactions in naturalistic everyday and institutional settings, which are carefully transcribed for qualitative structural analysis of the organisation of interactions.…”
