{"pk":27033,"title":"Discovering Multicausality in the Development of Coordinated Behavior","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Human interaction involves the organization of a collection ofsensorimotor systems across space and time. The study ofhow coordination develops in child-parent interaction hasprimarily focused on understanding the development ofspecific coordination patterns from individual modalities.However, less work has taken a systems view andinvestigated the development of coordination among multipleinterdependent behaviors. In the present work, we usedGranger causality as a mathematical model to constructdyadic causal networks of multimodal data collected from alongitudinal study of child-parent interaction. At a group-level, we observed increases in the number of causal links andin the strength of such links in dyadic interaction from 9-months to 12-months. At an individual-level, we observedhigh variability in the types of causal links that emergedacross developmental ages. We discuss these results in termsof a multicausality hypothesis for the development of humancoordination.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Interpersonal Coordination; Social Interaction;Child-Parent Interaction; Granger Causality; MultimodalSocial Interaction; Multivariate Autoregressive Model"}],"section":"Talks: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7d592545","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Tian","middle_name":"Linger","last_name":"Xu","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University","department":""},{"first_name":"Drew","middle_name":"H.","last_name":"Abney","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University","department":""},{"first_name":"Chen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yu","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27033/galley/16669/download/"}]}
