Abstract

Abstract Robots are versatile devices that are promising tools for supporting teaching and learning in the classroom or at home. In fact, robots can be engaging and motivating, especially for young children. This paper presents an experimental study with 81 kindergarten children on memorizations of two tales narrated by a humanoid robot. The variables of the study are the content of the tales (knowledge or emotional) and the different social behaviour of the narrators: static human, static robot, expressive human, and expressive robot. Results suggest a positive effect of the expressive behaviour in robot storytelling, whose effectiveness is comparable to a human with the same behaviour and better when compared with a static inexpressive human. Higher efficacy is achieved by the robot in the tale with knowledge content, while the limited capability to express emotions made the robot less effective in the tale with emotional content.

“机器人，给我讲个故事!”

摘要机器人是一种多功能设备，是支持课堂或家庭教学的有前途的工具。事实上，机器人可以吸引人，激励人，尤其是对小孩子来说。本文对81名幼儿园儿童进行了两个由人形机器人讲述的故事的记忆实验研究。研究的变量是故事的内容（知识或情感）和叙述者的不同社会行为：静态的人、静态的机器人、表达的人和表达的机器人。结果表明，表达行为在机器人讲故事中产生了积极的影响，其有效性与具有相同行为的人类相当，与静态的无表达的人类相比更好。机器人在有知识内容的故事中获得了更高的功效，而表达情感的能力有限，使机器人在有情感内容的故事中效率较低。

期刊介绍： This international peer-reviewed journal aims to advance knowledge in the growing and strongly interdisciplinary area of Interaction Studies in biological and artificial systems. Understanding social behaviour and communication in biological and artificial systems requires knowledge of evolutionary, developmental and neurobiological aspects of social behaviour and communication; the embodied nature of interactions; origins and characteristics of social and narrative intelligence; perception, action and communication in the context of dynamic and social environments; social learning.
