Abstract

Clark and Fischer (C&F) claim that trait attribution has major limitations in explaining human-robot interactions. We argue that the trait attribution approach can explain the three issues posited by C&F. We also argue that the trait attribution approach is parsimonious, as it assumes that the same mechanisms of social cognition apply to human-robot interaction.
