Attributing Blame to Robots: I. The Influence of Robot Autonomy.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: The research examined how humans attribute blame to humans, nonautonomous robots, autonomous robots, or environmental factors for scenarios in which errors occur.

Good advice is beyond all price, but what if it comes from a machine?

Journal of experimental psychology. Applied

Recent advances in machine learning allow faster training, improved performance and increased interpretability of classification techniques. Consequently, their application in neuroscience is rapidly increasing. While classification approaches have p...

Creepiness Creeps In: Uncanny Valley Feelings Are Acquired in Childhood.

Child development
The uncanny valley posits that very human-like robots are unsettling, a phenomenon amply demonstrated in adults but unexplored in children. Two hundred forty 3- to 18-year-olds viewed one of two robots (machine-like or very human-like) and rated thei...

Scientific reports
Rapid progress in the area of humanoid robots offers tremendous possibilities for investigating and improving social competences in people with social deficits, but remains yet unexplored in schizophrenia. In this study, we examined the influence of ...

The Origins of Social Categorization.

Trends in cognitive sciences
Forming conceptually-rich social categories helps people to navigate the complex social world by allowing them to reason about the likely thoughts, beliefs, actions, and interactions of others, as guided by group membership. Nevertheless, social cate...
