Abstract

Three frameworks have been proposed to account for interpersonal synchronization: The information processing approach argues that synchronization is achieved by mutual adaptation, the coordination dynamics perspective supposes a continuous coupling between systems, and complexity matching suggests a global, multi-scale interaction. We hypothesized that the relevancy of these models was related to the nature of the performed tasks. 10 dyads performed synchronized tapping and synchronized forearm oscillations, in two conditions: full (participants had full information about their partner), and digital (information was limited to discrete auditory signals). Results shows that whatever the task and the available information, synchronization was dominated by a discrete mutual adaptation. These results question the relevancy of the coordination dynamics perspective in interpersonal coordination.

摘要

已经提出了三个框架来解释人际同步：信息处理方法认为同步是通过相互适应实现的，协调动力学观点假设系统之间存在连续耦合，复杂性匹配表明全局、多尺度交互。我们假设这些模型的相关性与所执行任务的性质有关。10 对组进行同步敲击和同步前臂摆动，在两种情况下：完整（参与者有关于他们伴侣的完整信息）和数字（信息仅限于离散的听觉信号）。结果表明，无论任务和可用信息如何，同步都由离散的相互适应主导。这些结果质疑协调动力学视角在人际协调中的相关性。
