Abstract
Two studies assessed whether children appropriately trust technological informants. 102 3-year-olds learned the names of novel objects from a pair of social robots or inanimate machines. Children trusted information from an accurate robot over an inaccurate one and even more so when they perceived the devices to have psychological agency.
