Abstract
This thesis discusses the generation of multi-modal conversational cues in animated computer characters. Drawing from psycholinguistic literature of behaviors observed in human-human interactions, a study of turn-taking cues in a human-computer interaction, and previous work in creating animated conversational agents, I attempt to formulate a set of behaviors and appropriate times to produce these behaviors for a new conversational character, Rea.
