Details In this experiment, images of participants were recorded on video over two years. During the presentation activities, at least five or six images were recorded of each presenter and reviewed to determine the appearance of spontaneous beats. The results of this two-year experiment showed that there were no differences in the improvement of speech ability between spontaneous beat and non-beat learners. Moreover, the results of one-year presentation activities showed that voluntary beat learners had significantly higher social skills than non-beat learners. Nonetheless, the results of a survey conducted after two years of presentation activities showed that non-beat learners displayed significantly higher learning outcomes in many aspects of basic social skills than voluntary beat learners.
