The NAO6 humanoid robot, programmed to recognize student…

I delve into the question of whether generative AI serves as a precur…
Children’s multisensory experiences in museums
This case study was designed to engage children’s sense of smell through a story-related museum exhibition. Children’s responses to the exhibition, with particular attention to their olfactory perceptions of the odors at the exhibition, were solicited through researcher-child interviews and children’s drawings. Responses from 28 children (girls N = 14, boys N = 14) aged between 4.5–8 years were analyzed after they visited the exhibition using the…
