During this period he acquired his famous nickname, due to his frequent use of the Argentine diminutive interjection che, a vocative casual speech filler used to call attention or ascertain comprehension, similarly to both "bro" or the Canadian phrase "eh".
The current data certainly do not rule out that listeners are sensitive to the distributional properties of speech following fillers like uh, um, and the like, so that they can predict when the next word will follow or even what word will follow.
We measured users' feelings of social presence (Copresence, Social Attraction, and Emotional Credibility), rapport, perception of the quality of users' own responses (Embarrassment and Self-Performance), emotional state (PANAS), perception of an interaction partner (Person Perception), self-reported self-disclosure, speech fluency (Pause Fillers and Incomplete Words), and Verbal Self-Disclosure.
We're asked to accept, for instance, that Posy is simultaneously a provocatively brilliant scholar and a ditzy ingénue who betrays all the telltale linguistic tics of a Valley Girl, such as peppering her speech with the filler word "like" and turning every statement into a tentative, like, y'know, question?
It was observed that while performing the reasoning-gap tasks applied in this study, the EFL learners produced four types of private speech, repetition, translation, filler, and question, in both their L1 and L2.
The acoustic model set includes 115 right-context-dependent initial models, 38 context-independent final models, 37 particle models, (e.g., EN, MA, OU), 47 syllable-level models for hyper-articulated speech, and 14 filler models (e.g., short pause, breathing, and footfall).

It employs phoneme-based n-grams to model speech and build the filler model.
After my fourth speech, I stopped using filler words because I had practiced enough to be comfortable.
In order to check whether 'filler makes any statistically significant difference between the reasoning of control and experimental groups' both groups were analyzed to see the probable difference between them regarding their reasoning as determined by the third category of private speech (i.e., filler); an independent samples t-test was performed.
Keep in mind; an occasional filler word is not going to kill your speech, but for some the filler is a way of life and not a visitor in their vernacular.
