{"pk":27152,"title":"econstructing Social Interaction: The Complimentary Roles of BehaviourAlignment and Partner Feedback to the Creation of Shared Symbols","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper experimentally tests the contribution of twodistinct aspects of social interaction to the creation ofshared symbols: behaviour alignment and concurrentpartner feedback. Pairs of participants (N= 120, or 60pairs) completed an experimental-semiotic game,similar to Pictionary, in which they tried to communicatea range of recurring meanings to a partner by drawingon a shared whiteboard (without speaking or usingnumbers of letters in their drawings). The opportunityfor sign alignment and/or concurrent partner feedbackwas manipulated in a full factorial design. Each processmade a distinct contribution to the evolution of sharedsymbols: sign alignment directly influencedcommunication success, and concurrent partnerfeedback drove sign simplification and symbolization.These complimentary processes led to the interactiveevolution of effective and efficient humancommunication systems.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Human Communication"},{"word":"interaction"},{"word":"Icon"},{"word":"symbol"},{"word":"cultural evolution"},{"word":"language evolution"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7f58h7q3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nicolas","middle_name":"","last_name":"Fay","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Western Australia","department":""},{"first_name":"Bradley","middle_name":"","last_name":"Walker","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Western Australia","department":""},{"first_name":"Nik","middle_name":"","last_name":"Swoboda","name_suffix":"","institution":"Universidad Politecnica de Madrid","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/27152/galley/16788/download/"}]}
