IJHCS article published! 🎉
24 Apr 2023We are happy to announce that our article Audience Design and Egocentrism in Reference Production during Human-Computer Dialogue was published in the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies and is available online. 📖
The article compares the level of allocentric and egocentric speech production in human-human dialogue (HHD) and human-computer dialogue (HCD). We find that the role the computer partner occupies in the dialogue (i.e., whether it is seen more as a tool or as a dialogue partner) can affect how allocentric and egocentric users behave during the interaction. A more tool-like perception of the computer partner leads to increased egocentric behaviour on the part of the user, while perceiving the computer partner as dialogue partner leads to similar levels of allocentric and egocentric behaviour in HCD as in HHD.
