To evaluate the effect of knowledge overlap on the effectiveness of communication, participants played a communication game where the \u201cdirector\u201d identified objects to the \u201caddressee\u201d. Pairs either shared information about most objects' names (high overlap), or about the minority of objects' names (low overlap). We found that high\u2010overlap directors tended to use more names than low overlap directors. High overlap directors also used more names with objects whose names only they knew, thereby confusing their addressees more often than low\u2010overlap directors. We conclude that while sharing more knowledge can be beneficial to communication overall, it can cause communication to be locally ineffective. Sharing more information reduces communication effectiveness precisely when there is an opportunity to inform\u2014when people communicate information only they themselves know.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/03640210709336989","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,18]],"date-time":"2010-10-18T19:11:46Z","timestamp":1287429106000},"page":"169-181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["The Effect of Information Overlap on Communication Effectiveness"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Shali","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Boaz","family":"Keysar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/0-387-24319-4_5"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"17","volume-title":"Psychological models of communication in collaborative systems","author":"Bromme R.","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1076-898X.7.4.317"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0010-0285(87)90015-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511620539"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","first-page":"10","volume-title":"Elements of discourse understanding.","author":"Clark H.
