Sorry, it took me a while to figure out what you meant, I thought you typoed "question" and couldn't figure out the rest of the sentence until I finally realized what the word "ques" was supposed to be (doesn't help that my brain kept reading it as "kwes", as in "quest" ๐Ÿ˜„).

The correct word is "cue"/"cues", as in "social cues".
