    • The psychology of cooperation: Insights from chimpanzees and children 

      Melis, Alicia P.; Warneken, Felix (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
      Across all cultures, humans engage in cooperative activities that can be as simple as preparing a meal or sharing food with others and as complex as playing in an orchestra or donating to charity. Although intraspecific ...
    • Review of "Trusting What You're Told: How Children Learn from Others" 

      Warneken, Felix (The University of Chicago Press, 2013)
    • The shadow of the future promotes cooperation in a repeated prisoner’s dilemma for children 

      Blake, Peter R.; Rand, David G.; Tingley, Dustin; Warneken, Felix (Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
      Cooperation among genetically unrelated individuals can be supported by direct reciprocity. Theoretical models and experiments with adults show that the possibility of future interactions with the same partner can promote ...
    • Social Influences on Inequity Aversion in Children 

      McAuliffe, Katherine Jane; Blake, Peter R.; Kim, Grace; Wrangham, Richard W.; Warneken, Felix (Public Library of Science, 2013-11-21)
      Adults and children are willing to sacrifice personal gain to avoid both disadvantageous and advantageous inequity. These two forms of inequity aversion follow different developmental trajectories, with disadvantageous ...
    • Social-Cognitive Contributors to Young Children’s Empathic and Prosocial Behavior 

      Vaish, Amrisha; Warneken, Felix (MIT Press, 2011)
      This chapter discusses motivational factors and the contributors responsible for the empathic and prosocial behavior of young children. The reasons that people engage in prosocial behaviors, including self-benefit and ...
    • Solving Ambiguities with Perspective Taking 

      Ros, Raquel; Sisbot, E. Akin; Alami, Rachid; Steinwender, Jasmin; Hamann, Katharina; Warneken, Felix (IEEE Press, 2010)
      Humans constantly generate and solve ambiguities while interacting with each other in their every day activities. Hence, having a robot that is able to solve ambiguous situations is essential if we aim at achieving a fluent ...
    • Towards a Platform-Independent Cooperative Human Robot Interaction System: III An Architecture for Learning and Executing Actions and Shared Plans 

      Lallée, Stephane; Pattacini, Ugo; Lemaignan, Séverin; Lenz, Alexander; Melhuish, Chris; Natale, Lorenzo; Skachek, Sergey; Hamann, Katharina; Steinwender, Jasmin; Sisbot, Emrah Akin; Metta, Giorgio; Guitton, Julien; Alami, Rachid; Warnier, Matthieu; Pipe, Tony; Warneken, Felix; Dominey, Peter Ford (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)
      Robots should be capable of interacting in a cooperative and adaptive manner with their human counterparts in open-ended tasks that can change in real-time. An important aspect of the robot behavior will be the ability to ...
    • Varieties of altruism in children and chimpanzees 

      Warneken, Felix; Tomasello, Michael (Elsevier BV, 2009)
      Recent empirical research has shed new light on the perennial question of human altruism. A number of recent studies suggest that from very early in ontogeny young children have a biological predisposition to help others ...
    • What Do Children and Chimpanzees Reveal About Human Altruism? 

      Warneken, Felix (Oxford University Press, 2013)
    • Which One? Grounding the Referent Based on Efficient Human-Robot Interaction 

      Ros, Raquel; Lemaignan, Severin; Sisbot, E. Akin; Alami, Rachid; Steinwender, Jasmin; Hamann, Katharina; Warneken, Felix (IEEE, 2010)
      In human-robot interaction, a robot must be prepared to handle possible ambiguities generated by a human partner. In this work we propose a set of strategies that allow a robot to identify the referent when the human partner ...
    • Young Children Consider Merit when Sharing Resources with Others 

      Kanngiesser, Patricia; Warneken, Felix (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Merit is a key principle of fairness: rewards should be distributed according to how much someone contributed to a task. Previous research suggests that children have an early ability to take merit into account in third-party ...
    • Young children proactively remedy unnoticed accidents 

      Warneken, Felix (Elsevier BV, 2013)
      Human adults will sometimes help without being asked to help, including in situations in which the helpee is oblivious to the problem and thus provides no communicative or behavioral cues that intervention is necessary. ...
    • Young Children Share the Spoils After Collaboration 

      Warneken, Felix; Lohse, K.; Melis, A. P.; Tomasello, M. (SAGE Publications, 2010)
      Egalitarian behavior is considered to be a species-typical component of human cooperation. Human adults tend to share resources equally, even if they have the opportunity to keep a larger portion for themselves. Recent ...
