Does a pedagogical agent’s gesture frequency assist advanced foreign language users with learning declarative knowledge?

Abstract Since the conception of pedagogical agents in multimedia environments, researchers have advocated for to be designed exhibit social cues that prime interaction target audience. One powerful cue has been agent gesturing. While most are created only use deictic (pointing) gestures, there is recent evidence perform all gesture types (iconic, metaphoric, deictic, and beat) with enhanced frequency help foreign language users learn more procedural knowledge. Therefore, this research examines how different frequencies influence persona learning outcomes when declarative The results indicated regardless frequency, significantly increase persona. However, produced conflicting outcomes. enhancing gestures were beneficial cued recall recognition, average condition was not, which indicates strength important.
