The Effects of Agent Nonverbal Communication on Procedural and Attitudinal Learning Outcomes |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
This experimental study investigated the differential effects of pedagogical agent nonverbal communication on attitudinal and procedural learning. A 2x2x2 factorial design was employed with 237 participants to investigate the effect of type of instruction (procedural, attitudinal), deictic gesture (presence, absence), and facial expression (presence, absence) on learner attitudes, agent perception (agent persona, gesture, facial expression), and learning. Results indicated that facial expressions were particularly valuable for attitudinal learning, and were actually detrimental for procedural learning. Similarly, gestures were perceived as more valuable for students in the procedural module, even though they did not directly enhance recall. |
