Exploring Children's Verbal and Acoustic Synchrony: Towards Promoting Engagement in Speech-Controlled Robot-Companion Games |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Children's interpersonal synchrony has been related to various benefits in social, mental and emotional development. We explore verbal and acoustic synchrony patterns between pairs of children playing a speech-controlled video game. Verbal features include word timing and duration patterns, while acoustic cues contain prosodic information. Synchrony is captured through a random-effects model taking into account multiple sources of variation and repeated measurements for each pair of children. Our findings indicate the presence of synchrony between participants during game play, which increases as they become more engaged in the game. These results are discussed in relation to personalized human-computer interaction and adaptive game environments. |
