Talk to me personally: Personalization of language style in computer-based learning

作者:

Highlights:

• Personalization effects were examined for different target groups.

• We analyze how learners perceive the computer by changing the language style.

• We collected data with an experimental design and the “think-aloud” method.

• Personalization effects were found for motivation and retention, not for transfer.

• New factors were identified to explain personalization effects.
