    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Metronomes, cells, neurons, fireflies, and human beings all\nfall into synchrony with each other, given the opportunity.\nSynchrony between people appears to generate social\ncohesion by increasing liking and feelings of togetherness.\nBut the function of dancing, chanting and singing is not just to\nproduce warm, affiliative feelings, anthropologists have\nspeculated, but also to improve group action. The group that\nchants and dances together hunts well together. Direct\nevidence for this is sparse, as research so far has mainly\nfocused on studies of pairs, the effects of bodily movement,\nand measured cooperation and affiliative decisions. In\ncontrast, in our experiment, large groups of people were\nstudied, the synchrony of their verbal behaviour alone was\nmanipulated, and in addition to affiliation, we measured their\nperformance on a memory task and on a group action task,\nplaying a video game together. Our evidence suggests that the\neffects of synchrony are stable across modalities, and can be\ngeneralized to larger groups",
