title = "Effects of Previous Exposure on Children{\textquoteright}s Perception of a Humanoid Robot",
abstract = "The study described in this paper investigated the effects of previous exposure to robots on children{\textquoteright}s perception of the Kaspar robot. 166 children aged between 7 and 11 participated in the study in the framework of a UK robotics week 2018 event, in which we visited a local primary school with a number of different robotic platforms to teach the children about robotics. Children{\textquoteright}s perception of the Kaspar robot was measured using a questionnaire following a direct interaction with the robot in a teaching scenario. Children{\textquoteright}s previous exposure to other robots and Kaspar itself was manipulated by controlling the order of children{\textquoteright}s participation in the different activities over the event. Effects of age and gender were also examined. Results suggest significant effects of previous exposure and gender on children{\textquoteright}s perception of Kaspar, while age had no significant effect. Important methodological implications for future studies are discussed.",
