人工智慧時代來臨，社會機器人漸漸融入幼兒的生活環境中。在教育現場，藉由社會機器人幫助幼兒學習，如此新興的機器對於幼兒有何意義？因此，本研究的目的在透過幼兒的認知概念與行為表現，了解社會機器人對幼兒的意義，藉以了解幼兒對社會機器人是否具有生物特徵的認知概念，進一步探討具有生物特徵的機器人是否有影響幼兒對其的選擇性相信。在研究一，主要目的是以生物概念探討社會機器人對幼兒的意義，以一百零二名三至六歲幼兒為研究對象，調查幼兒對於社會機器人生物特徵的認知，分別為外表、行為、互動性以及生命有無等生物特徵的判斷作業，了解幼兒在生物概念的觀點上如何看待社會機器人。結果顯示80％以上小班幼兒認為機器人具有生命特徵，但只有60％至70％大中班幼兒認為機器人具有生命特徵。
在研究二，主要目的從選擇性相信的表現來看社會機器人對幼兒的意義，以一百零二名三至六歲幼兒為研究對象，探討幼兒面對成人與具有生命特徵的社會機器人所提供的訊息，將如何影響幼兒的選擇性相信。結果顯示，判斷生命特徵能力較不好的幼兒偏好選擇相信成人，判斷生命特徵能力較佳的幼兒則偏好選擇相信社會機器人。但幼兒在判斷社會機器人是否具有生命特徵出現模稜兩可的情況使得幼兒游移不定的選擇相信成人或社會機器人。

As the era of artificial intelligence coming, social robots are gradually integrated into the living environment of children. At the educational scene, using social robots to help the children improve in learning, what is the significance of such a new machine for children? Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of social robots to children through the cognitive concepts and behavioral expressions of children. In order to understand whether children have cognitive concepts of biometric characteristics in social robots, and to further explore whether social robots with biometrics affect children selective trust.
As the first research, the main purpose is to investigate the meaning of social robots to children in biological concepts. Taking 102 children ages 3 to 6 as subjects, investigate children’s cognition of social robots biometrics, and then judgment of life features such as appearance, behavior, interaction, and life understand how children view social robots from the perspective of biological concepts. The results have shown that more than 80% of kindergarten beginners think that robots have life characteristics, but only 60% to 70% of kindergarten junior and kindergarten senior think that robots have life characteristics.
In the second research, the main purpose is to acknowledge the meaning of social robots for children from the performance of selective trust. Taking 102 children ages 3 to 6 as subjects, explore the message when children face adults and social robots with life characteristics how it influences the selectivity of children. The results have shown children who have lower ability to judge life features choose to believe in adults; nonetheless, the higher ability children choose to believe in social robots. However, when children judge whether social robots are equipped with life characteristics in unclear situation, make the children believe in both adults and social robots.
