Multiple error handling strategies improve voice chatbot effectiveness and satisfaction for older adults learning information and communication technologies (ICTs). This enhances their attitude toward technology and aids gerontechnology design.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Information Science
Background:
- Libraries support older adults' information literacy with user-friendly interfaces.
- Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) are increasingly researched but frustrate older users.
- Designing senior-friendly chatbots requires understanding user interaction challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of different error handling strategies on older adults' VUI chatbot interactions.
- To inform the design of automated dialog mechanisms for senior-friendly chatbots.
- To enhance older adults' accessibility and learning of information and communication technologies (ICTs).
Main Methods:
- A between-subject user experiment involving 30 older adults divided into three groups.
- Analysis of participants' behavioral patterns, performance, and interaction tactics.
- Comparison of interactions with voice chatbots featuring distinct error handling strategies.
Main Results:
- The use of multiple error handling strategies significantly benefits older users.
- Effectiveness and satisfaction in human-robot interactions were enhanced.
- Older users' attitudes toward information technology were positively facilitated.
Conclusions:
- Multiple error handling strategies are crucial for effective and satisfying VUI chatbot use by older adults.
- Findings provide empirical evidence for gerontechnology design, particularly in educational and living applications.
- This research expands voice chatbot studies by examining conversation errors in human-robot interactions for older populations.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
