• Abstract: This work documents a pilot user study evaluating the effectiveness of contrastive, causal and example explanations in supporting human understanding of AI in a hypothetical commonplace human robot interaction HRI scenario. In doing so, this work situates explainable AI XAI in the context of the social sciences and suggests that HRI explanations are improved when informed by the social sciences.

  We run a study on AI-assisted decision-making in which humans were supported by XAI. Our findings reveal a misinformation effect when incorrect explanations accompany correct AI advice. This effect causes humans to infer flawed reasoning strategies, hindering task execution and demonstrating impaired procedural knowledge.

  We propose a novel explainable AI (XAI) framework for achieving human-like communication in human-robot collaborations. The robot builds a hierarchical mind model of the human user and generates explanations of its own mind as a form of communications. Results show that the generated explanations of our approach significantly improves the collaboration performance and user perception of the robot.
