When reviewing fossilization, Brown (2007, p. 271) calls attention to two different types of feedback: Affective Feedback and Cognitive Feedback. He goes on to comment that:

Various combinations of the two major types of feedback are possible. ____________, a person can indicate positive affective feedback […]____________ give neutral ____________ negative cognitive feedback to indicate that the message itself is unclear. Negative affective feedback, _____________, regardless of the degree of cognitive feedback, will likely result in the abortion of the communication. This is, of course, consistent with the overriding affective nature of human interaction: if people are not at least affirmed in their attempts to communicate, there is little reason for continuing. ____________, one of the first requirements for meaningful communication, as has been pointed out in earlier chapters, is an affective affirmation by the other person.
