ABSTRACT

Humans do not passively respond to agents and stimuli; we engage with our environments in reciprocal and interactive fashion. This special issue of Visual Cognition presents a collection of twelve original articles which demonstrate that interactive reciprocity changes the expression of basic cognitions and motor actions as well as resulting overt cognitive and social behaviours. The results from these studies highlight the need for a greater understanding of the mechanisms by which interactive reciprocity influences cognitions. They also showcase the feasibility of addressing research questions involving reciprocity using both the existing classic methods as well as novel approaches. The future of the emerging science of Interactive Cognition is bright!

摘要

人类不会被动地对代理和刺激做出反应；我们以互惠和互动的方式与我们的环境互动。本期 Visual Cognition 特刊收录了 12 篇原创文章，展示了交互互惠改变了基本认知和运动行为的表达，以及由此产生的明显认知和社会行为。这些研究的结果强调了对互动互惠影响认知的机制有更深入了解的必要性。他们还展示了使用现有的经典方法和新颖的方法来解决涉及互惠的研究问题的可行性。交互认知这一新兴科学的未来是光明的！
