Answer: it's called backchanneling.

Backchannel responses from the listener are intended to express reassurance, understanding and/or reduce anxiety in an one-way conversation. After the speaker has finished talking you indicate with this type of expressions( nodding, saying 'yeah','uh-huh') how you evaluated the message.
