“…Personified agents are interface assistants that are visually present on the computer screen in the form of an animated life-like character [2], [ 111. Examples are presented in [4], [8], where the user interface incorporates an anthropomorphic visual agent for communication purposes. However, user feedback in most systems is only supported in a rather limited way and user interface researchers have put little emphasis on improving the underlying structures that represent the intelligence of the animated interface agent.…”

This paper describes how certain forms of multimedia can be combined with the principles of a cognitive theory in order to improve human-computer interaction. An animated, speech-driven agent has been developed in order to simulate a human expert. However, the main focus of this research is on adapting a theory of human plausible reasoning in order to render the agent's interaction with the user more human-like, The agent uses this reasoning while watching the user "over the shoulder" so that it can decide on the advice that Jits the user better. The evaluation of the interface revealed that human-computer interaction can successfully be improved by the adaptation of such an animated, speech-driven agent, when it can reproduce human reasoning.
