Opposite valence social information provided by bio-robotic demonstrators shapes selection processes in the green bottle fly.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Social learning represents a high-level complex process to acquire information about the environment, which is increasingly reported in invertebrates. The animal-robot interaction paradigm turned out to be an encouraging strategy to unveil social lea...

Instructor-learner brain coupling discriminates between instructional approaches and predicts learning.

NeuroImage
The neural mechanisms that support naturalistic learning via effective pedagogical approaches remain elusive. Here we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure brain activity from instructor-learner dyads simultaneously during dynamic con...

Risk perception and behavioral change during epidemics: Comparing models of individual and collective learning.

PloS one
Modern societies are exposed to a myriad of risks ranging from disease to natural hazards and technological disruptions. Exploring how the awareness of risk spreads and how it triggers a diffusion of coping strategies is prominent in the research age...

Machine learning, social learning and the governance of self-driving cars.

Social studies of science
Self-driving cars, a quintessentially 'smart' technology, are not born smart. The algorithms that control their movements are learning as the technology emerges. Self-driving cars represent a high-stakes test of the powers of machine learning, as wel...

The foundations of the human cultural niche.

Nature communications
Technological innovations have allowed humans to settle in habitats for which they are poorly suited biologically. However, our understanding of how humans produce complex technologies is limited. We used a computer-based experiment, involving humans...

A Humane Social Learning-Informed Metaverse: Cultivating Positive Technology Experiences in Digital Learning Environments.

Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking
Online environments, such as metaverses, provide distinct social environments for people to engage in complex, cognitive, and multidirectional learning and meaning-making experiences. These engaging and influential environments highlight important fa...

Using robots to understand animal cognition.

Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior
In recent years, robotic animals and humans have been used to answer a variety of questions related to behavior. In the case of animal behavior, these efforts have largely been in the field of behavioral ecology. They have proved to be a useful tool ...
