About
Asi Kuperman’s research lies at the intersection of developmental psychology and human-robot interaction, exploring how young children perceive, represent, and reason about the behaviors of autonomous technological systems. Her most-cited work, “Young Children’s Representational Structures of Robots’ Behaviors” (2023, 5 citations), investigates how children construct mental models of robots—a critical step toward understanding early cognitive development in an increasingly automated world. Kuperman’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between complex systems thinking and early childhood education, revealing that even young children form nuanced, hierarchical representations of robot actions. This work has implications for designing developmentally appropriate learning tools and AI interfaces. Though early in her career, Kuperman’s research is gaining traction among scholars in cognitive science, robotics, and education. Her findings challenge assumptions about children’s technological literacy and underscore the importance of studying how the next generation makes sense of intelligent machines. As robots become ubiquitous in homes and classrooms, Kuperman’s insights offer a foundational framework for understanding the cognitive foundations of human-robot interaction.
