Abstract

We propose a huggable communication device called Hugvie that encourages children to concentrate on listening by reducing their stress and strengthening the feeling that the storyteller is close. We observed a group of preschool children who listened to a story and conclude that Hugvie has the potential to facilitate attention on stories. This indicates its usefulness to relieve the educational problem where children show disobedient or restless behavior during class. We discuss Hugvie's effect on learning and memory and potential applications to special-needs children.
