The author reviews the research conducted on dyadic interaction and its role in the development of creative thinking and problem solving. Earlier research has shown that children at a certain stage prefer to work alone rather than with other children. However, empirical data have shown on the whole that dyadic interactions result in better performance on creativity tests and other similar measu...

This study examines the electrophysiological correlates of dyadic interaction in 14-month-old infants. Infants were presented with three conditions of live stimuli. A baseline condition involved the observation of moving geometric shapes. In a second condition the infant observed an adult performing movements that were not in reference to the infant and were not within the infant's proficient m...

We apply Hawkes process to the analysis of dyadic interaction. Hawkes process is applicable to excitatory interactions, wherein the actions of each individual increase the probability of further actions in the near future. We consider the representation of Hawkes process both as a conditional intensity function and as a cluster Poisson process. The former treats the probability of an action in ...

Communicative feedback in human-human and human-computer interaction is of interest to both language and ICT researchers. In this study, unimodal and multimodal feedback, produced by Chinese and Swedish interlocutors, has been investigated in four Chinese-Chinese, four Swedish-Swedish, and eight Chinese-Swedish informal dyadic videorecorded dialogs. We are investigating two issues: First, what ...

We propose a method for detecting dyadic interactions, which are fine-grained, coordinated interactions between two people. Our model is capable of recognizing interactions such as a hand shake or a high five, and locating them in time and space. At the core of our method is a pictorial structures model that additionally takes into account the finegrained movements around the joints of interest...

Membership relationship is one area of relationship marketing in service sector, which is increasingly gaining attention in view of the growing popularity of individuals acquiring and maintaining memberships in associations. However, research in membership relationship is modest, particularly for professional associations (PAs). The propose of this study is to investigate how dyadic interaction...

Temporal patterns of verbal and non-verbal behavior in human interactions reveal our attitudes toward each other and can have an outsized impact on outcome of activities such as negotiations, coordination and team work. However, not much work has been done towards automatically analyzing the temporal aspects of such behavior during collaborative tasks. In this paper, we take an initial step tow...

At 24-months of age, toddlers (N=62) and their mothers were observed in a free-play session to determine the contribution of (a) maternal sensory sensitivity to positive and negative infant facial expressions as measured in a signal detection task at 6 months, (b) maternal behavior and affect, infant behavior and affect, and dyadic interaction at 9 months, and (c) infant attachment status at 12...
