What the participants share, their common "sense" of the world, creates a foundation, a framing, an orientation that enables human actors to see and act in coordination with one another. For recurrent activities, the methods the participants use to understand each other as they act change, making the intersubjective space in which actors operate richer and easier to produce.

A quick glance at the list A foundations of mathematics B : http ://www.cs.nyu.edu/mailman/listinfo/fom shows a paradigm close to archaic astronomy : truth is a primitive (like Earth), around which several systems and meta-systems gravitate (like the epicycles of Ptolemy). This being orchestrated by Doctors of the Law, in charge of the lates...

The purpose of this roundtable discussion was to explore factors that influence the design of the initial discussion prompts in course-based, online learning. The initial prompt is one of the first pieces of scaffolding necessary for the knowledge construction requisite in a constructivist learning environment. As a means of stimulating conversation among conference participants, intersubjectiv...

This study is part of a larger longitudinal project with the aim of focusing early social interaction and development of mentalizing ability in 12 deaf infants, including the interaction between the infants and their deaf parents. The aim of the present paper is to describe early social interaction and moments of intersubjectivity between the deaf infants and their deaf parents during the first...

This article presents a study that examined the impact of visual communication on the quality of the early interaction between deaf and hearing mothers and fathers and their deaf children aged between 18 and 24 months. Three communication mode groups of parent-deaf child dyads that differed by the use of signing and visual-tactile communication strategies were involved: (a) hearing parents comm...

Effective interprofessional work is premised on high levels of shared understandings (i.e. intersubjectivity) among those who are co-working. In particular, when quick or seemingly spontaneous responses are required for urgent or immediate action, what is termed as "shared intuition" is highly desirable. Much of the required intersubjectivity can arise ordinarily through everyday healthcare col...

Today, the study of consciousness within Western science and philosophy is polarized between investigations of third-person, objective, correlates (e.g., neuroscience and cognitive science) and investigations of first-person, subjective experience and phenomena (e.g., introspection and ~edita­ tion). These two perspectives set the terms of debate in contemporary consciousness research: Is consc...
