Co-constructing explanations between AI-explainer and human explainee under arousal or nona-rousal (A03)

• Subject Area: Human Factors, Ergonomics, Human-Machine Systems ; Management and Marketing
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 438445824

We investigate how arousal affects the processing of explanations. Arousal can occur from the task, contextual factors or from the explanation itself. Our goal is to develop an interactive system that co-constructs an explanation that allows the explainee to understand XAI explanations when being overly or too little aroused. Both, human and the XAI system will be aware of possible influences of arousal on the reception of recommendations and explanations and may have on their decision and empowered to intervene.
