Abstract

People's mental models of robots affect their predictions of robot behavior in interactions. The present study highlights some of the uncertainties that enter specifically into people's considerations about the minds and behavior of robots by exploring how people fare in the standard "Sally-Anne" false-belief task from developmental psychology when the protagonist is a robot.
