Joint Action: Mental Representations, Shared Information and General Mechanisms for Coordinating with Others
نویسندگان
چکیده
In joint action, multiple people coordinate their actions to perform a task together. This often requires precise temporal and spatial coordination. How do co-actors achieve this? How do they coordinate their actions toward a shared task goal? Here, we provide an overview of the mental representations involved in joint action, discuss how co-actors share sensorimotor information and what general mechanisms support coordination with others. By deliberately extending the review to aspects such as the cultural context in which a joint action takes place, we pay tribute to the complex and variable nature of this social phenomenon.

Neural correlates of verbal joint action: ERPs reveal common perception and action systems in a shared-Stroop task.
Recent social-cognitive research suggests that the anticipation of co-actors' actions influences people's mental representations. However, the precise nature of such representations is still unclear. In this study we investigated verbal joint representations in a delayed Stroop paradigm, where each participant responded to one color after a short delay. Participants either performed the task as...
متن کاملShared action spaces: a basis function framework for social re-calibration of sensorimotor representations supporting joint action
The article explores the possibilities of formalizing and explaining the mechanisms that support spatial and social perspective alignment sustained over the duration of a social interaction. The basic proposed principle is that in social contexts the mechanisms for sensorimotor transformations and multisensory integration (learn to) incorporate information relative to the other actor(s), simila...
متن کاملShared knowledge or shared affordances? Insights from an ecological dynamics approach to team coordination in sports.
Previous research has proposed that team coordination is based on shared knowledge of the performance context, responsible for linking teammates' mental representations for collective, internalized action solutions. However, this representational approach raises many questions including: how do individual schemata of team members become reformulated together? How much time does it take for this...
متن کاملAction co-representation: the joint SNARC effect.
Traditionally, communication has been defined as the intentional exchange of symbolic information between individuals. In contrast, the mirror system provides a basis for nonsymbolic and nonintentional information exchange between individuals. We believe that understanding the role of the mirror system in joint action has the potential to serve as a bridge between these two domains. The present...

than at the motor level, yet still firmly anchored on a particular situation of actions rather than detached. To understand the proximal intentions of others, it is thus not enough that one be able to retrieve the immediate motor goal of an observed movement, one must also infer its possible significance given further information about the situation in which it occurs. Moreover, given that even...
