A verification question requires the answer “yes” or “no”. Verification questions are formed according to the following abstract specification: "Is a fact true? Did an event occur?". An example of verification question would be as follows: "Is the answer 5?" [1] Please also compare verification question with the concept of backchannel questions introduced in [2]


Example (1):

-Explainer: "Do you know what we're gonna talk about today?","It's called blockchain."
-Explainee: "What's blockchain?"
-Explainer: "That's a really good question.","It's actually a way that we can trade.","Do you know what trade is?"
-Explainee:  Mmm-hmm, it's when you take turns doing something.",  It's when you give up most of what you want, right? ---> Verification Question

Example (2):

-Explainer: [Have you ever heard of harmony?] ---> Verification Question
-Explainee: ['Yes.']
-Explainer: ['Okay, so what do you think harmony is?']
-Explainee: ["I think basically it's like, one person has the lower", 'voice and then like, girl usually has the higher voice', 'and then they blend it together.']
