Abstract

We present a study designed to explore the effect of feedback on perception of an interactive embodied agent as well as the overall performance and experience of primary school children aged 12-13 carrying out a treasure hunt activity. We use an interactive dialogue agent to compare three experimental conditions: no feedback, neutral feedback, and affective feedback. We study if the agent in the affective condition helps in engagement of the task more than the two other conditions.
