Article Synopsis
- This study explores how 3-year-old children learn and trust information from a competent robot compared to an incompetent human, focusing on their responses to different informants.
- During the experiment, children observed the robot successfully pointing to a toy, while the human pointed to an empty box, establishing the robot's competency.
- Results showed that children were more likely to ask the robot for help and recognized it as accurate, but they equally accepted pointers from both informants, highlighting their ability to differentiate based on knowledge rather than social cues.
