Summary:

This paper discusses an adaptive interaction system to keep track of the users' cognition load and will change responses and interactive flow to improve the user's experience. A speech content analysis will measure the cognitive load.

Discussion:

The idea seems like it would be great but I feel the paper fails to describe in detail how this would be done. It focuses more on the requirements than the implementation and what it will do to reach these goals.
