MEASURING THE EFFECTS OF BACKCHANNELING IN COMPUTERIZED ORAL READING TUTORING

What is the effect of backchanneling on human-computer dialog, and how should such effects be measured? We present experiments designed to evaluate the immediate effects of backchanneling on computer-assisted oral reading tutoring. These experiments are implemented in a reading tutor that listens to children read aloud, and helps them learn to read. As a byproduct of designing, conducting, and evaluating these experiments, we are able to describe some unique methodological challenges in evaluating the effects of low-level turn taking dialog behavior.
