Abstract
This chapter describes a psychological experiment performed in the framework of a user modeling component that makes use of Bayesian networks to anticipate the decodability of presentations planned by a multimedia presentation system. The goal of this empirical study was to test the validity of the assumptions contained in a decodability model postulated for the problem of reference resolution. This paper briefly introduces the user modeling component and describes the experiment.
