Contingent responsivity in E-books modeled from quality adult-child interactions: Effects on children's learning and attention.
TL;DR: The use of the contingent book significantly increased children's story recall and was found to be especially useful for children with less developed attention regulation.

User-created forms as an effective method of human-agent communication
TL;DR: An evaluation of the interface shows that administrators can effectively create forms to communicate with the agent, that they are likely to accept this technology in their work environment, and that the agent's help can significantly reduce the time they spend on repeated information-retrieval tasks.
