wait time

I heard from the Sadkers that did research on gender interaction in the classroom that instructors need to allow at least 10 seconds for a response to a question. I notice when I ask a question and the students do not respond immediately, it is my impatience and discomfort that diminishes the learning interaction. I also know there are students with an introvert style that need more time to process information and formulate a response and that they are often silenced when the extovert students speak up quickly.
