Avatars and humans may not elicit the same accent-related biases in mock courtroom research by Lara A. Frumkin, Anna Stone, Mary Jane Spiller

“…IntroductionConducting research to better understand the role of extralegal factors in courtroom decision-making requires either labor intensive methods, such as simulating a trial, or approaches that are not ecologically valid, such as using short written case vignettes. If avatars could be used in simulated courtrooms, experiments could more easily manipulate extralegal variables for study without requiring significant resourcing, for example hiring actors and having access to a courtroom. …”
