As Marlou summarised on birdsite, we found that as repair initiations become more specific (moving from open requests like “sorry?” to restricted offers like “with X you mean like this ((gesture))?”), more multimodal effort is used in the initiation [in figure: orange, going up] compared to the solution [blue, going down]. Moreover, as we write in the paper, "People appear to do repair in the most cost-efficient way possible, minimizing the joint multimodal effort for the dyad as a whole."
