Through the mental preparation enabled by IIs, an individual can reduce disfluencies and mitigate the anxiety that arises from a speech. Study 1 indicated that rehearsal influences the reduction of silent pauses but not vocalized pauses. In addition, those who reported higher levels of communication apprehension demonstrated more total disfluencies throughout the speech. Study 2 examined how utilizing mixed modes of imagery can affect the rehearsal process in comparison to visualizing (VIS) an encounter alone. The results indicated that a rehearsal consisting of both II training and the mixed modes of imagery resulted in more overall fluency in speech and in higher self-reported speech evaluations.

As age of target increased, so did attributions of benevolence, norms of politeness and deference, and communicative respect and avoidance; conversely, attributions of personal vitality and communication satisfaction decreased linearly. Path analysis was also adopted to examine the simultaneous relationships between the variables under study, and ultimately with cultural caveats largely supported, a hypothesized model was derived. The data were discussed in terms of their yielding refinements and elaborations to the communicative predicament and enhancement models of aging.
