1. Discrimination accuracy across conditions.
Discrimination accuracy across conditions. (A) Mean accuracy of the adults for the critical and neutral trials across each experimental condition (control, n = 20; robot-peer, n = 20; human-peer, n = 20). During the critical trials, the presence of human peers leads to a significant decrease in discrimination accuracy due to subjects conforming to the human confederates. (B) Mean accuracy of the children during the discrimination task (control, n = 21; robot-peer, n = 22; no human-peer condition). During the critical trials, the presence of the robot peers leads to a significant decrease in accuracy due to group conformity. Error bars denote 95% confidence intervals of the mean estimate; likelihood ratio test on logistic regression, *P < 0.01, **P <
