Progress in Joint-Action Research

Humans have a striking ability to coordinate their actions with each other achieve joint goals. The tight interpersonal coordination that characterizes is achieved through processes help preparing for action as well are active while being performed. To prepare action, partners form representations of other’s and tasks the relation between them. This enables them predict upcoming actions, which, in turn, facilitates coordination. While performing partners’ maintained by (a) monitoring whether individual outcomes correspond what was planned, (b) predicting parameters on basis familiarity (c) communicating task-relevant information unknown an action-based fashion, (d) relying coupling predictions dense perceptual-information flow coactors. next challenge field generate integrated perspective links mechanisms normative, evolutionary, communicative frameworks.
