Michael F. Schober (born November 7, 1964) is an American psychologist who is currently the dean of The New School for Social Research in New York City.
In February 2003, Michael Schober accompanied his sister in a performance of Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder and selected songs of Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf, and Johannes Brahms at Steinway Hall[2] in New York City.
Schober's publications are used in many psycholinguistic-based classes at universities across the United States to achieve an up-to-date look at empirical research in the field of psychology specifically psycholinguistics.
Schober and Clark propose that addressees have an advantage to speakers and overhearers because in conversations individuals accumulate information based on common ground.
The second experiment used the same task and number of pairs, but this time the overhearers joined the groups and listened to the conversations.
A more recent publication in 2004 in collaboration with Fredrick G. Conrad and Scott S. Fricker was entitled “Misunderstanding standardized language in research interviews.
