If visualization is more effective when accompanied by narration, why not superimpose visualization on narration? This might result in better transfer of learning. We will present a general framework for such superimposed visualization, called overlay visualization. The objectives for the design of our framework are 1) to separate the application from the visualization; and 2) to separate the s...

This work investigates linguistically motivated features for automatically scoring a spoken picture-based narration task. Specifically, we build scoring models with features for story development, language use and task relevance of the response. Results show that combinations of these features outperform a baseline system that uses state of the art speechbased features, and that best results ar...

Abstract This work shows how interaction is essential for storytelling with a child. A corpus of narrative dialogues between parents and their children was coded with a mentalist grid. The results of two modelling methods were analysed by an expert in parent-child dialogue analysis. The extraction of dialogue patterns reveals regularities explaining the character’s emotion. Results showed that ...

We expect scientists to follow a code of honor and conduct and to report their research honestly and accurately, but so-called scientific misconduct, which includes plagiarism, faked data, and altered images, has led to a tenfold increase in the number of retractions over the past decade. Among the reasons for this troubling upsurge is increased competition for journal placement, grant money, a...

Current cognitive multimedia design theories provide several guidelines for how to integrate verbal and pictorial information. Based on a dual-channel information processing model, many authors have suggested using spoken rather than written text along with pictorial representations (e.g., animations). However, the directives for the design of auditory text (narration) are still fragmentary, es...
