Project homeIDP: Dance Session IDP
Version 2.1 by Vladimir Rullens on 2025/11/07 00:03
Interaction between PwD and Miro. The interaction is done via talking.
The IDP we use is Backchanneling.
By always responding with an acknowledgment, Miro shows the PwD that it listens. When possible, Miro responds to song or genre selection with positive phrases such as "Great choice!". Conversational responsiveness (Berg, 1987) proves that Miro both acknowledges and supports the PwD's decisions and interests.
