Investigating Sound Intensity Gradients as Feedback for Embodied Learning

چکیده
This paper explores an intensity-based approach to sound feedback in systems for embodied learning. We describe a theoretical framework, design guidelines, and the implementation of and results from an informant workshop. The specific context of embodied activity is considered in light of the challenges of designing meaningful sound feedback, and a design approach is shown to be a generative way of uncovering significant sound design patterns. The exploratory workshop offers preliminary directions and design guidelines for using intensity-based ambient sound display in interactive learning environments. The value of this research is in its contribution towards the development of a cohesive and ecologically valid model for using audio feedback in systems, which can guide embodied interaction. The approach presented here suggests ways that multi-modal auditory feedback can support interactive collaborative learning and problem solving. [

Reinforcement Learning based Embodied Agents Modelling Human Users Through Interaction and Multi-Sensory Perception
This paper extends recent work in interactive machine learning (IML) focused on effectively incorporating human feedback. We show how control and feedback signals complement each other in systems which model human reward. We demonstrate that simultaneously incorporating human control and feedback signals can improve interactive robotic systems performance on a self-mirrored movement control tas...
متن کاملSonification as Concurrent Augmented Feedback for Motor Skill Learning and the Importance of Mapping Design
In recent years, sonification of movement has emerged as a viable method for the provision of feedback in motor learning. Despite some experimental validation of its utility, controlled trials to test the usefulness of sonification in a motor learning context are still rare. As such, there are no accepted conventions for dealing with its implementation. This article addresses the question of ho...
متن کاملEffect of sound classification by neural networks in the recognition of human hearing
In this paper, we focus on two basic issues: (a) the classification of sound by neural networks based on frequency and sound intensity parameters (b) evaluating the health of different human ears as compared to of those a healthy person. Sound classification by a specific feed forward neural network with two inputs as frequency and sound intensity and two hidden layers is proposed. This process...
متن کاملSpringboard: Exploring Embodied Metaphor in the Deisgn of Sound Feedback for Physical Responsive Environments
In this paper we propose a role for suing embodied metaphor in the design of sound feedback for interactive physical environments. We describe the application of a balance metaphor in the design of the interaction model for a prototype interactive environment called Springboard. We focus specifically on the auditory feedback, and conclude with a discussion of design choices and future research ...
متن کاملWriting Formative Assessment for IELTS Preparation Courses: Investigating Iranian Teachers’ Knowledge and Beliefs
IELTS preparation courses have gained significant popularity in Iran in the past decade. Although teachers in such an exam-oriented context have started to use formative assessment to improve their writing instruction, their knowledge and beliefs about assessment for learning are still a myth. This mixed-methods study investigated Iranian IELTS teachers’ beliefs and knowledge about the four mai...
