“…As actors use contextual cues to improve their ability to act [40], we hypothesized that users creating robot behaviors can also benefit from context to express emotions more effectively through these behaviors. The context we provided in this second user study was the robot's expressions themselves.…”

Robots are beginning to be used in many fields, including health care, assistive industries, and entertainment. However, we believe that the usefulness of robots will remain limited until end-users without technology expertise can easily program them. For example, the wide range of situations in which robots must express emotions as well as the differences in people with whom robots interact require that emotional expressions be highly customized. Thus, end users should have the ability to create their own robot behaviors to express emotions in the specific situations and environments in which their robots operate. In this paper, we study the ability of novice users to program robots to express emotions using off-the-shelf programming interfaces and methods for Nao and Pleo robots. Via a series of user studies, we show that novice participants created nonverbal expressions with similar characteristics to those identified by experts. However, overall, the emotions expressed through these nonverbal expressions were not easily discerned by others. Verbal expressions were more discernible, although substantial room for improvement was observed. Results also indicate, but do not definitively show, that procedural mechanisms can improve users' abilities to create good verbal expressions.Index Terms-Emotions, human-robot interaction, robot programming systems.

“…Accordingly, memory has been studied in music psychology (Aiello & Williamon, 2002) and in acting (Noice & Noice, 2002) but less so in dance (Starkes, Deakin, Lindley, & Crisp, 1987). Examples of memorizing strategies include counting beats aloud in music (Ginsborg, 2002), inferring meaning to text in acting (Noice, 1992;Noice & Noice, 2002;Schmidt, Boshuizen, & van Breukelen, 2002), and marking in dance (small hand or foot gestures used to simulate actual, full body movements; e.g., Starkes et al, 1987). Wilson (2002) outlines a range of memorization strategies, two of which form interesting overlaps with sport psychology: learning within context and overlearning.…”

Th e central theme of this Handbook is that the psychology of human performance can be studied across multiple domains, not just sport and exercise, and this chapter examines the research base that exists in another performance area: the performing arts. It would be overambitious, perhaps impossible, to do justice to the enormous variety of psychology topics that have potential implications for the performing arts; as such, this chapter focuses on research based in performance psychology, putting the performance of performing artists, suitably, at center stage. Within the limitations of my own training and expertise, I also make links to other areas where I have found them especially appropriate. A key issue addressed in the chapter is whether the approaches and techniques of sport psychology can be successfully used in the domains 5

“…For actors, motoric cues are associated with the recall of text (Noice and Noice, 1997) with text recall approaching a ceiling over the first three years and then declining as retention intervals increase; contextual cues significantly aid retrieval (Noice and Noice, 2002). Spatial and visual contextual cues also play a limited role in actors' recall of a play (Schmidt, Boshuizen, and van Breukelen, 2002). Context aids memory because it is part of the to-be-remembered event.…”

Recall of complex non-verbal motor sequences, such as contemporary dance, provides insights into the structure and mechanics of human memory -specifically, cues and associations in long-term memory (LTM). In this study, four dancers recalled material -eight exercises in the form of short dances -that they had not performed for between three and 31 years. The dancers initially recalled the exercises in silence, although each one had been learned to a particular piece of music. The exercises were recalled either immediately or after an unfilled delay and using self-motion or a mannequin. Recall rates were similar across immediate and delayed conditions; self versus mannequin motion had little impact on the length of material recalled. Qualitative data indicated that music and dancer movement were important cues to LTM; transitions were sometimes forgotten; images associated with movement recall were kinaesthetic, verbal, visual and auditory. The results are consistent with accounts of LTM for other temporal arts and suggest activation of multimodal associates and images.
