The application of CAT to intergenerational interaction has shown that younger adults perceive older adults' talk as under-accommodating, i.e. extensively diverging from the interlocutor's style, topics introduced, and their own as over-accommodating, that is, as converging to the interlocutor's style and to viewpoint that the recipient will presumably share (cf. e.g. Ylänne-McEwen 1999).
