Teaching NICO How to Grasp: An Empirical Study on Crossmodal Social Interaction as a Key Factor for Robots Learning From Humans

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2020
To overcome novel challenges in complex domestic environments, humanoid robots can learn from human teachers. We propose that the capability for social interaction should be a key factor in this teaching process and benefits both the subjective ...

Those Virtual People all Look the Same to me: Computer-Rendered Faces Elicit a Higher False Alarm Rate Than Real Human Faces in a Recognition Memory Task

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Virtual as compared with real human characters can elicit a sense of uneasiness in human observers, characterized by lack of familiarity and even feelings of eeriness (the “uncanny valley” hypothesis).

Perceptual discrimination difficulty and familiarity in the Uncanny Valley: More like a ‘Happy Valley’.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The Uncanny Valley Hypothesis (UVH) predicts that enhanced difficulty perceptually discriminating between categorically ambiguous human and humanlike characters (e.g., highly realistic robot) evokes negatively valenced (i.e., uncanny) experience.

From Confusion to Clarity: A Multi‐Stage Process Framework for Understanding Consumer Confusion

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes consumer confusion as a multi‐stage temporal process rather than a static outcome, addressing theoretical fragmentation in existing antecedent‐consequence models. By integrating cognitive appraisal, contextual amplification, and adaptive coping within a unified framework, we explain how confusion unfolds rather than

Potential Risks of Virtual Influencer Diversity in Charitable Endorsements: A Cognitive Dissonance Perspective

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highlighting diversity‐related attributes has become an increasingly prominent marketing communication strategy in virtual influencer endorsement practices. Prior research has largely focused on commercial endorsement contexts, conceptualized diversity as a homogeneous and single‐dimensional construct, and emphasized its predominantly positive

Is it the real deal? Perception of virtual characters versus humans: an affective cognitive neuroscience perspective

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Recent developments in neuroimaging research support the increased use of naturalistic stimulus material such as film, animations, or androids. These stimuli allow for a better understanding of how the brain processes information in complex situations ...

Graph Neural Network‐Based Prediction of Building Energy Consumption

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A graph neural network that encodes a multi‐zone building as a graph accurately predicts hourly cooling and heating loads across three distinct climates, outperforming Random Forest and XGBoost baselines and serving as a fast surrogate to EnergyPlus simulations for scalable building energy management.

Artificial Minds as Brand Advocates: Developing and Testing the AHICC Model of Consumer Cognitive Processing for AI Endorsers in Digital Marketing

Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research
Despite rapid growth in the AI endorser market, the psychological mechanisms governing their effectiveness remain theoretically fragmented. This study proposes the AHICC (AI–Human Interface in Consumer Cognition) model—integrating the Stereotype Content ...

Emotional Valence Influences Empathic Capacity in Adolescence and Young Adulthood

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Previous research has identified age‐related differences in empathic abilities between adolescence and young adulthood. While cognitive empathy appears to continue to develop from adolescence and into adulthood, the developmental trajectory of affective empathy is less clear.
