About
Anastasiia D. Grigoreva Crean investigates the intersection of developmental psychology and human-robot interaction, focusing on how children perceive and trust robots. Her research explores how robots’ displayed mental capacities—such as emotional expression, language use, and physical responsiveness—shape young people’s evaluations and social judgments. In her most cited work, "The Minds That Matter: How Robots’ Mental Capacities Shape Children’s Evaluations and Trust" (2025), she systematically examines which human-like attributes most influence children’s trust and moral consideration of robotic agents. This foundational study provides critical insights for designing socially acceptable robots and understanding early social-cognitive development in an increasingly automated world. While her citation count is still growing, her work is poised to impact fields from AI ethics to educational technology. Crean’s research is notable for bridging cognitive science and robotics, offering empirical evidence on how children differentiate between types of machine intelligence—a question with profound implications for future human-robot coexistence.
