Participatory Sense-Making in Dance Improvisation

Participatory sense-making (PSM) provides a rich theoretical framework for theories in social cognition, providing base hypotheses that remain to be experimentally tested. Particularly, we are interested exploring when synchrony arises between participating agents interactions. Additionally, aim see if altering the perceptual experiences of influences their ability coordinate intentions and behaviours. We propose behavioural experiment makes use an existing dance improvisation paradigm obtain measures spontaneously arising coordinated behaviour. Then, analysis methods, including instantaneous phase synchrony, translate observations into meaningful coordination. then present our expected results discuss how they may contribute knowledge cognition. explore implications do not support hypothesis, suggestions future directions testing proposed by PSM.
