Spatial referring expressions in child-robot interaction: Let's be ambiguous! (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Establishing common ground when attempting to disambiguate spatial locations is difficult at the best of times, but is even more challenging between children and robots. Here, we present a study that examined how 94 children (aged 5-8) communicate sp... Read More about Spatial referring expressions in child-robot interaction: Let's be ambiguous!.

Using a robot peer to encourage the production of spatial concepts in a second language (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We conducted a study with 25 children to investigate the effectiveness of a robot measuring and encouraging production of spatial concepts in a second language compared to a human experimenter. Productive vocabulary is often not measured in second la... Read More about Using a robot peer to encourage the production of spatial concepts in a second language.

Due process in dual process: Model-recovery simulations of decision-bound strategy analysis in category learning (2018)
Journal Article

Behavioral evidence for the COVIS dual-process model of category learning has been widely reported in over a hundred publications (Ashby \& Valentin, 2016). It is generally accepted that the validity of such evidence depends on the accurate identific...

Initial training with difficult items does not facilitate category learning (2018)
Journal Article

In the phenomenon of transfer along a continuum (TAC), initial training on easy items facilitates later learning of a harder discrimination. TAC is a widely replicated cross-species phenomenon that is well predicted by certain kinds of associative th...
