Discrete sequence production with and without a pause: the role of cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum.

abstract：:Prior research with preschool children has established that dialogic or active book reading is an effective method for expanding young children's vocabulary. In this exploratory study, we asked whether similar benefits are observed when a robot engages in dialogic reading with preschoolers. Given the established effec...
