Experimentally Evaluating Communicative Strategies: the Eeect of the Task
نویسنده
چکیده
EEective problem solving among multiple agents requires a better understanding of the role of communication in collaboration. In this paper we show that there are communicative strategies that greatly improve the performance of resource-bounded agents, but that these strategies are highly sensitive to the task requirements, situation parameters and agents' resource limitations. We base our argument on two sources of evidence: (1) an analysis of a corpus of 55 problem solving dialogues, and (2) experimental simulations of collaborative problem solving dialogues in an experimental world, Design-World, where we parameterize task requirements, agents' resources and communicative strategies.

متن کاملRelationship Between EFL Learners’ Self-Perceived Communication Competence and Their Task-Based and Task-Free Self-Assessment of Speaking
Self-assessment and task-based assessment have recently attracted attention in language learning and testing contexts worldwide; however, little research has been carried out to document the link between these notions. The present research was an attempt to investigate the connection between task-free/task-based self-assessment and learners’ self-perceived communicative competence in speaking. ...
متن کاملThe Eeect of Resource Limits and Task Complexity on Collaborative Planning in Dialogue
This paper shows how agents' choice in communicative action can be designed to mitigate the eeect of their resource limits in the context of particular features of a collaborative planning task. I rst motivate a number of hypotheses about eeective language behavior based on a statistical analysis of a corpus of natural collaborative planning dialogues. These hypotheses are then tested in a dial...
متن کاملThe Role of Critical Thinking Orientation on the Learners’ Use of Communicative Strategies
Abstract The present study aimed to explore the impact of teaching critical thinking skills through applying debate on the use of communicative strategies. At first 60 intermediate students were selected and placed in two homogenous groups of control and experimental through passing Nelson test. Then, a critical thinking appraisal was run to the two groups both before and after the treatment. T...
