Children’s perception of uncanny human-like virtual characters

作者：

Highlights：

• We examine children’s perception of the Uncanny Valley in human-like characters.

• Nine- to 11-year-olds do experience the uncanny in human-like virtual characters.

• Uncanniness was exaggerated in characters with a lack of upper facial expression.

• A startled facial expression was more prone to uncanniness than a happy expression.
