text: In this paper, we discuss the application of retrospective video recall for
the assessment of cognitive processes in explanatory interactions, such as understanding
and mental models. Our purpose is to reflect on the benefits and limitations of
video recall compared to another self-report method, ‘thinking-aloud’. To do so,
we reveal empirical results from the application of video recall in three interdisciplinary
research projects that applied the method for the qualitative and quantitative
assessment of cognitive and behavioral phenomena in everyday explanations. In
all three projects, video recall was applied as a post-hoc procedure following
the recording of dyadic face-to-face explanations of board games. The design of
the video recall procedure differed between individual projects because they pursued
different research objectives – that is the investigation of (1) an interlocutor's
multimodal signals of understanding, (2) the change in assumptions about an interlocutor's
dispositional and situational knowledge, and (3) the differentiated assessment
of an interlocutor's developing understanding of domain knowledge aspects by distinguishing
between mechanistic and functional explanatory stances. By discussing the benefits
and the limitations of each procedure, this article provides critical reflections
on video recall as a versatile research method applied for the analysis of human
multimodal behavior in interaction and cognitive processing.

text: "The ability to generate explanations that are understood by explainees is
the\r\nquintessence of explainable artificial intelligence. Since understanding\r\ndepends
on the explainee's background and needs, recent research focused on\r\nco-constructive
explanation dialogues, where an explainer continuously monitors\r\nthe explainee's
understanding and adapts their explanations dynamically. We\r\ninvestigate the
ability of large language models (LLMs) to engage as explainers\r\nin co-constructive
explanation dialogues. In particular, we present a user\r\nstudy in which explainees
interact with an LLM in two settings, one of which\r\ninvolves the LLM being instructed
to explain a topic co-constructively. We\r\nevaluate the explainees' understanding
before and after the dialogue, as well\r\nas their perception of the LLMs' co-constructive
behavior. Our results suggest\r\nthat LLMs show some co-constructive behaviors,
such as asking verification\r\nquestions, that foster the explainees' engagement
and can improve understanding\r\nof a topic. However, their ability to effectively
monitor the current\r\nunderstanding and scaffold the explanations accordingly
remains limited."

text: "The ability to generate explanations that are understood by explainees is
the\r\nquintessence of explainable artificial intelligence. Since understanding\r\ndepends
on the explainee's background and needs, recent research focused on\r\nco-constructive
explanation dialogues, where an explainer continuously monitors\r\nthe explainee's
understanding and adapts their explanations dynamically. We\r\ninvestigate the
ability of large language models (LLMs) to engage as explainers\r\nin co-constructive
explanation dialogues. In particular, we present a user\r\nstudy in which explainees
interact with an LLM in two settings, one of which\r\ninvolves the LLM being instructed
to explain a topic co-constructively. We\r\nevaluate the explainees' understanding
before and after the dialogue, as well\r\nas their perception of the LLMs' co-constructive
behavior. Our results suggest\r\nthat LLMs show some co-constructive behaviors,
such as asking verification\r\nquestions, that foster the explainees' engagement
and can improve understanding\r\nof a topic. However, their ability to effectively
monitor the current\r\nunderstanding and scaffold the explanations accordingly
remains limited."

text: Explainability has become an important topic in computer science and artificial
intelligence, leading to a subfield called Explainable Artificial Intelligence
(XAI). The goal of providing or seeking explanations is to achieve (better) ‘understanding’
on the part of the explainee. However, what it means to ‘understand’ is still
not clearly defined, and the concept itself is rarely the subject of scientific
investigation. This conceptual article aims to present a model of forms of understanding
for XAI-explanations and beyond. From an interdisciplinary perspective bringing
together computer science, linguistics, sociology, philosophy and psychology,
a definition of understanding and its forms, assessment, and dynamics during the
process of giving everyday explanations are explored. Two types of understanding
are considered as possible outcomes of explanations, namely enabledness, ‘knowing
how’ to do or decide something, and comprehension, ‘knowing that’ – both in different
degrees (from shallow to deep). Explanations regularly start with shallow understanding
in a specific domain and can lead to deep comprehension and enabledness of the
explanandum, which we see as a prerequisite for human users to gain agency. In
this process, the increase of comprehension and enabledness are highly interdependent.
Against the background of this systematization, special challenges of understanding
in XAI are discussed.

text: 'In XAI it is important to consider that, in contrast to explanations for
professional audiences, one cannot assume common expertise when explaining for
laypeople. But such explanations between humans vary greatly, making it difficult
to research commonalities across explanations. We used the dual nature theory,
a techno-philosophical approach, to cope with these challenges. According to it,
one can explain, for example, an XAI''s decision by addressing its dual nature:
by focusing on the Architecture (e.g., the logic of its algorithms) or the Relevance
(e.g., the severity of a decision, the implications of a recommendation). We investigated
20 game explanations using the theory as an analytical framework. We elaborate
how we used the theory to quickly structure and compare explanations of technological
artifacts. We supplemented results from analyzing the explanation contents with
results from a video recall to explore how explainers justified their explanation.
We found that explainers were focusing on the physical aspects of the game first
(Architecture) and only later on aspects of the Relevance. Reasoning in the video
recalls indicated that EX regarded the focus on the Architecture as important
for structuring the explanation initially by explaining the basic components before
focusing on more complex, intangible aspects. Shifting between addressing the
two sides was justified by explanation goals, emerging misunderstandings, and
the knowledge needs of the explainee. We discovered several commonalities that
inspire future research questions which, if further generalizable, provide first
ideas for the construction of synthetic explanations.'

text: 'AbstractRecent approaches to Explainable
AI (XAI) promise to satisfy diverse user expectations by allowing them to steer
the interaction in order to elicit content relevant to them. However, little is
known about how and to what extent the explainee takes part actively in the process
of explaining. To tackle this empirical gap, we exploratively examined naturally
occurring everyday explanations in doctor–patient interactions (N = 11).
Following the social design of XAI, we view explanations as emerging in interactions:
first, we identified the verbal behavior of both the explainer and the explainee
in the sequential context, which we could assign to phases that were either monological
or dialogical; second, we investigated in particular who was responsible for the
initiation of the different phases. Finally, we took a closer look at the global
conversational structure of explanations by applying a context-sensitive model
of organizational jobs, thus adding a third layer of analysis. Results show that
in our small sample of conversational explanations, both monological and dialogical
phases varied in their length, timing of occurrence (at the early or later stages
of the interaction) and their initiation (by the explainer or the explainee).
They alternated several times in the course of the interaction. However, we also
found some patterns suggesting that all interactions started with a monological
phase initiated by the explainer. Both conversational partners contributed to
the core organizational job that constitutes an explanation. We interpret the
results as an indication for naturally occurring everyday explanations in doctor–patient
interactions to be co-constructed on three levels of linguistic description: (1)
by switching back and forth between monological to dialogical phases that (2) can
be initiated by both partners and (3) by the mutual accomplishment and thus responsibility
for an explanation’s core job that is crucial for the success of the explanation.
Because of the explorative nature of our study, these results need to be investigated
(a) with a larger sample and (b) in other contexts. However, our results suggest
that future designs of artificial explainable systems should design the explanatory
dialogue in such a way that it includes monological and dialogical phases that
can be initiated not only by the explainer but also by the explainee, as both
contribute to the core job of explicating procedural, clausal, or conceptual relations
in explanations.'
