Research Overview
My research investigates social cognitive development with a focus on how children understand and interact with robotic agents. Through innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches, we explore questions about agency beliefs, choice, free will, and moral judgment in the context of human-robot interaction.
Social Cognitive Development
Investigating how children develop understanding of agency, choice, and free will, particularly in the context of interactions with technological agents.
Agency Beliefs and Human-Robot Interaction
Exploring how children attribute properties and capabilities to robotic agents, and how these beliefs influence their interactions and learning.
Choice and Free Will
Examining children's understanding of choice and free will, particularly in their attributions to humanoid robots and other technological agents.
Moral Judgment
Studying how children develop moral understanding and make moral judgments in the context of human-robot interaction.
