机器人是多功能设备，是支持课堂或家庭教学的有前途的工具。事实上，机器人可以吸引人并激励人，特别是对幼儿来说。本文以81名幼儿为被试，对两个故事进行了记忆实验研究。研究的变量是故事的内容（知识或情感）和叙述者的不同社会行为：静态的人，静态的机器人，表达的人，和表达的机器人。结果表明，在机器人讲故事，其有效性与人类具有相同的行为和更好的表达行为的积极影响相比，静态的无表情的人。机器人在具有知识内容的故事中实现了更高的功效，而有限的表达情感的能力使得机器人在具有情感内容的故事中效果较差。
Robots are versatile devices that are promising tools for supporting teaching and learning in the classroom or at home. In fact, robots can be engaging and motivating, especially for young children. This paper presents an experimental study with 81 kindergarten children on memorizations of two tales narrated by a humanoid robot. The variables of the study are the content of the tales (knowledge or emotional) and the different social behaviour of the narrators: static human, static robot, expressive human, and expressive robot. Results suggest a positive effect of the expressive behaviour in robot storytelling, whose effectiveness is comparable to a human with the same behaviour and better when compared with a static inexpressive human. Higher efficacy is achieved by the robot in the tale with knowledge content, while the limited capability to express emotions made the robot less effective in the tale with emotional content.
