Description¶
SpeakApp-Kids! is a prototype virtual-reality application developed by Sülter et al. for children to practise public speaking through repeated brief exposures to a virtual audience.
Components¶
- SpeakApp-Kids! VR prototype for public speaking practice: The SpeakApp-Kids! prototype is a virtual reality application that embeds repeated brief exposures to a virtual audience for children practising public speaking. The article describes it as "a prototype of the Virtual Reality (VR) SpeakApp-Kids!" used across three public speaking practice sessions before an actual presentation. It was evaluated in children aged 9-12 years as a proof of concept, with the aim of reducing state anxiety during practice and during the actual presentation, and reducing general public speaking anxiety. (Sülter et al. (2022))
Claims¶
- The SpeakApp-Kids! condition showed a larger decrease in general public speaking anxiety from the first practice session until one week after the actual presentation compared to control. [+M]
- Pupils in the SpeakApp-Kids! condition reported lower state anxiety during the actual presentation than the control condition. [+M]
- Repeated brief VR exposures reduced state anxiety during the first two practice sessions. [+M]
