“…Within-subjects design was used as a conservative measure of any differences in judgments of violations with and without a helping goal. We expected that any response bias would remain consistent, perhaps consistently negative at these ages as in Okanda and Itakura (2011), since the questions were asked in two different parts of the interview and were not expected to be seen Table 3 Gender norm violations described as part of the assessment.…”

“…However, we recognized a couple of specific issues as cutting nails and walking barefoot, important for parasitism prevention (Bello et al., ; Sah et al., ), that require specific approaches. Main biases are culturally driven (Karpicke & Roediger, ; Okanda & Itakura, , ), for instance, going barefoot is associated with pleasant behaviours—to play football—and social positive inputs—mother indication to not wear shoes in some situations. Regarding this, there is evidence to suggest that subjecting children to several rounds of fixation activities provide better learning improvement (Karpicke & Roediger, ).…”

To investigate knowledge of school-aged children and their perception on intestinal parasites, and to assess knowledge reconstruction on prevention practices after specific training in the subject. We performed an activity package that included the analysis of children's drawings of intestinal parasites, and information and communication technologies (ITCs) to transfer knowledge about these pathogens and prevention measures. Retrieval learning activities were performed to fixation of general and specific prevention and control measures.Overall, we found that there is a knowledge gap in many aspects of parasite biology and ecology, and therefore on the risk of infection and acquisition mechanisms. After ITCs, the children improved their knowledge over non-trained children.The approaches used to transfer knowledge and for learning, fixation were valuable tools for incorporating changes in misconceptions and in the deep-rooted habits that favour entero-parasitic diseases. This has important implications for the specific design of future education materials and campaigns. Understanding of perceptions helps to provide justifications and knowledge to achieve changes in unhealthy habits, and it constitutes the basis for the transformation of many risky practices.

“…These abilities were indeed correlated with the yes bias of 3-and 4-year-olds (Moriguchi, Okanda, & Itakura, 2008). Okanda and Itakura (2011) reported that response latencies to yes-no questions were significantly shorter for 3-year-olds than for 6-year-olds, suggesting that young preschoolers' yes bias may be an automatic response.…”

“…Two-and 3-year-olds showed a yes bias to strange adults (e.g., Fritzley & Lee, 2003; and their mothers (Okanda & Itakura, 2007). Okanda and Itakura (2011) reported that response latencies to yes-no questions were significantly shorter for 3-year-olds than for 6-year-olds, suggesting that young preschoolers' yes bias may be an automatic response.

“…Japanese 4-year-olds could also say "no" to their mothers when they were asked knowledge-assessment questions (Okanda et al, 2012). That is, older Japanese children are likely to say "yes" when they feel social pressure (see also Okanda et al, 2012;Okanda & Itakura, 2011;Okanda, Kanda, Ishiguro, & Itakura, 2013). That is, older Japanese children are likely to say "yes" when they feel social pressure (see also Okanda et al, 2012;Okanda & Itakura, 2011;Okanda, Kanda, Ishiguro, & Itakura, 2013).…”

This study investigated the responses of 4‐ and 5‐year‐old Japanese children to yes‐no questions about familiar and unfamiliar objects that were asked by a communicative or a non‐communicative humanoid robot. The children in the communicative condition watched a pretrial video in which a humanoid robot interacted with a human adult, and those in the non‐communicative condition watched a pretrial video in which the same humanoid robot was unresponsive to the same human adult's utterances and actions. Then, all the children watched a video in which the robot asked 24 yes‐no questions. The results indicated that 4‐ and 5‐year‐olds in the two conditions showed similar response tendencies, with no age differences. Further, the children showed no response biases to familiar objects and nay‐saying bias to unfamiliar objects. Children's perception of robots is discussed. Highlights We investigated whether 4‐ to 5‐year‐olds answer humanoid robot's yes‐no questions. The children were asked yes‐no questions by either a communicative and non‐communicative humanoid robot. Children in both age groups in two conditions showed similar response tendencies to humanoid robot: They may have expectation for humanoid robots that they are communicative partner.
