Developing a teacher agent to explore the role of gaze direction on young school children’s comprehension Open
Teachers’ gaze and school children’s language proficiency play a role for listening comprehension in the classroom. The influence of multimodal conditions on listening comprehension may be hard to study in a systematic manner with real spe…

Early or synchronized gestures facilitate speech recall—a study based on motion capture data Open
Introduction Temporal co-ordination between speech and gestures has been thoroughly studied in natural production. In most cases gesture strokes precede or coincide with the stressed syllable in words that they are semantically associated …

Motion iconicity in prosody Open
Evidence suggests that human non-verbal speech may be rich in iconicity. Here, we report results from two experiments aimed at testing whether perception of increasing and declining f 0 can be iconically mapped onto motion events. We prese…

Effects of leg fatigue due to exhaustive stair climbing on gait biomechanics while walking up a 10° incline – Implications for evacuation and work safety Open
This biomechanics study explored stride length (SL), duration (SDN), and gait ground reaction forces (GRFspeak), required coefficient of friction (RCOFpeak), joint angle (anglepeak, anglemin), angular velocities (angvelx peak), angular acc…

Listening Comprehension and Listening Effort in the Primary School Classroom Open
In the primary school classroom, children are exposed to multiple factors that combine to create adverse conditions for listening to and understanding what the teacher is saying. Despite the ubiquity of these conditions, there is little kn…

A virtual speaker in noisy classroom conditions: supporting or disrupting children’s listening comprehension? Open
Altogether, our results are inconclusive regarding how seeing a virtual speaker affects listening comprehension. We discuss how methodological adjustments, including modifications to our virtual speaker, can be used to discriminate between…

Recall and perceived naturalness of asynchronous speech and gesture Open
Part of the justification for an integrated view of speech and gestures ( (( is their temporal coordination. Gestures generally coincide with or precede, but rarely follow lexical affiliate (McNeill, 1992). How synchrony impacts listeners …

Compensation for a large gesture-speech asynchrony in instructional videos Open
We investigated the pragmatic effects of gesture-speech lag by asking participants to reconstruct formations of geometric shapes based on instructional films in four conditions: sync, video or audio lag (±1,500 ms), audio only. All three v…
