# ElicitationTask

The data collection protocol includes a task-based prompt to participants.

An example of such a task is a [map task](https://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/maptask/maptask-description.html). This is a cooperative task involving two participants. The two speakers sit opposite one another and each has a map which the other cannot see. One speaker -- designated the Instruction Giver -- has a route marked on her map; the other speaker -- the Instruction Follower -- has no route. The speakers are told that their goal is to reproduce the Instruction Giver's route on the Instruction Follower's map. The maps are not identical and the speakers are told this explicitly at the beginning of their first session. It is, however, up to them to discover how the two maps differ. The data collected is the recorded interaction of the participants.
