What Did Spot Hide?: A Question-Answering Game For Preschool Children? What Did Spot Aware?
What did Spot Hide?: A Question-Answering Game for
Preschool Children
The purpose of this article is to investigate whether question-answering games can improve children's early literacy using ASR/dialogue systems. The article also determines the factors which lead to the "literacy gap" and the reasons that are needed for an "expert interactive system". In this paper is described a two-phase study, one using a human researcher and one using a system named Spot. The study involved 12 children (6 boys, 6 girls), 4 and 5 years old from a research preschool in California. All the participants took part in 3 different stages in a 20-questions game. In the first stage all the participants played the 20-questions game with a familiar researcher, in …show more content…
The experiment involved 24 participants (14 girls and 10 boys) selected from the primary grades of a nearby Primary School with an average age of 7.56 years old. The research divided into two reading modes, one using contextual BCI and one reading the text before taking the BCI training session. The individuals took the two reading modes randomly and they have been tested to ensure that all children are in the same level and have no prior experience with the subject. Consequently, the results of the study were counterbalance. According to article, the children's engagement in the contextual reading mode were significantly improved compared to those who use the in-order reading …show more content…
It also includes a brief overview of the main points along with some statistical results. The title describes the purpose of the FOCUS system where it gives a quick explanation about the articles statement. The introduction provides background information about the article. This grants a clear understanding of the context and importance of the study. A quick flashback about other related works are summarized in a paragraph in order to distinguish their new reading system. The authors gives some explanations, such as what is electroencephalography (EEG), which is essential part of the brain-computer interface. Although, there are not enough evidences how this details are applied into the FOCUS system (Szafir, 2010). The body was logically organized into scientific headings System Description, Virtual Contents, Design and Procedure, Experiment, Results, Discussions and References. This allowed the reader to read the entire article or just the part which is interested in. Also, the system description and the virtual contents were well written with separate parts in order to describe the operation and importance of each
