Technology.Humanoid Robot.WebHome]] and repetitive nature of the [[Dancing Session>>doc:2\. Specification.b\. Use Cases.UC02\.0\: Dancing Session.WebHome]].

13 As mentioned in [[A child and a robot getting acquainted-interaction design for eliciting self-disclosure>>https://research.vu.nl/en/publications/a-child-and-a-robot-getting-acquainted-interaction-design-for-eli/]], positive backchanneling is an IDP that proves to be effective for self-disclosure, and has a high response rate, when interacting with children.

It should be avoided during steps that impose restrictions, such as when the robot stops the activity.

25 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!".

31 Conversational responsiveness (Berg, 1987) proves that Miro both acknowledges and supports the PwD's decisions and interests.
