Abstract
Dancing together, building a house, or jointly preparing a meal;
people's ability to coordinate their actions with each other is a
fundamental aspect of human society. What kinds of processes and
representations make joint action possible? This talk will focus on
action planning and temporal coordination as two key aspects of joint
action. Studies on action planning reveal that people have a strong
tendency to share tasks and memories. Studies on coordination suggest
that motor simulation, nonverbal coordination signals, and entrainment
serve to predict and align actions in time. Future challenges concern
the role of inter-individual and inter-group relations, as well as the
experiences emerging in joint action.
