In this paper, we present evidence from empirical studies of human-robot interaction with different kinds of robot feedback, which suggests that speakers take their communication partners into account on the basis of partner models, which are constantly and concomitantly updated on the basis of the partner’s feedback. Thus, the partner’s contributions are not reacted to directly, but instead feed into a partner model, on the basis of which utterances are produced.

The Situatedness of Pragmatic Acts: Explaining a Lamp to a Robot
TLDR
The results of an experiment in which people explain the use of an ordinary household item, a table-top lamp, either to their 10-month old children, or to a robot which resembles a young child support a situated notion of the pragmatic act, the pragmeme.
Robots as Confederates: How Robots Can and Should Support Research in the Humanities
TLDR
It is argued that robots make excellent confederates that can be completely controlled, yet which engage human participants in interactions that allow us to study numerous linguistic and psychological variables in isolation in an ecologically valid way.
It Gets Worse Before it Gets Better: Timing of Instructions in Close Human-Robot Collaboration
TLDR
This paper illustrates how a qualitative microanalysis provides a methodological tool for uncovering users' expectations online (in comparison to post hoc by means of questionnaires, for instance), and what exactly it is that users expect.
Enriching the human-robot interaction loop with natural, semantic and symbolic gestures
TLDR
In this chapter, the appearance and need of gestures as feedback strategy for humanoid robots in interactions with humans is discussed.
Approaching human-like spatial awareness in social robotics: an investigation of spatial interaction strategies with a receptionist robot
This doctoral thesis investigates the influence of social signals in the spatial domain that aim to raise a robot’s awareness towards its human interlocutor. A concept of spatial awareness thereby…
Situation in grammar or in frames?: Evidence from the so-called baby talk register
TLDR
It is shown that a conventional association between grammatical form and situation is implausible and situational knowledge is stored best in semantic frames as a set of functions that can be demonstrated to be commonly attended to, whereas construction grammar remains an inventory of general form-function pairs.

Less Is More: A Minimalist Account of Joint Action in Communication
TLDR
It is suggested that interaction provides interlocutors with many cues that can support coordination of meaning, even when they are neither produced intentionally for that purpose nor interpreted as signaling speakers' intention.
How People Talk with Robots: Designing Dialog to Reduce User Uncertainty
TLDR
Results show that users react sensitively to subtle linguistic cues that may guide them into appropriate understandings of the robot.
Interpersonal variation in understanding robots as social actors

  • Psychology
    2011 6th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)
  • 2011
TLDR
Taking interpersonal variation into account reveals that not all users transfer social behaviors from human interactions into HRI, casting doubts on the suggestion that the social responses to computers and robots reported on previously are due to mindlessness.
The impact of the contingency of robot feedback on HRI
TLDR
The results of the analysis of participants' linguistic behaviors in the two conditions show that contingency has an impact on the complexity and the pre-structuring of the task for the robot, i.e. on the participants' tutoring behaviors.
Partner-specific interpretation of maintained referential precedents during interactive dialog.
Tutor Spotter: Proposing a Feature Set and Evaluating It in a Robotic System
TLDR
The current state of the development of the contingency detection system is presented as a set of features, allowing for spotting the tutor by monitoring her or his gaze and detecting modifications in object presentation in form of a looming action.

Toward a mechanistic psychology of dialogue
TLDR
A mechanistic account of dialogue, the interactive alignment account, is proposed and used to derive a number of predictions about basic language processes, and the need for a grammatical framework that is designed to deal with language in dialogue rather than monologue is considered.
An integrated theory of language production and comprehension
TLDR
It is asserted that producing and understanding are interwoven, and that this interweaving is what enables people to predict themselves and each other.
Judging a bot by its cover: An experiment on expectation setting for personal robots
TLDR
It is found that people's initial beliefs about the robot's capabilities are indeed influenced by expectation setting tactics, and erring on the side of setting expectations lower rather than higher led to less disappointment and more positive appraisals of the robots' competence.
