"Who's there?": Depicting identity in interaction

Patrick G T Healey et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

Social robots have limited social competences. This leads us to view them as depictions of social agents rather than actual social agents. However, people also have limited social competences. We argue that all social interaction involves the depiction of social roles and that they originate in, and are defined by, their function in accounting for failures of social competence.
