{"pk":28145,"title":"Complexity Matching in Collaborative Coordination","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Complexity matching—converging temporal correlations\nmeasured by correlating the slopes of power spectra—is a new\nmeasure of coordination based on information exchange between\ncomplex networks. To date, studies have focused on the dyadic\ncase, but complexity matching may generalize to interacting\ncomplex networks in the left and right hemispheres of a single\nbrain. We examined complexity matching in a perceptual-motor\ntask between individuals and dyads. Participants alternated hitting\ntargets in a Fitts-like task with the left and right hands of one\nindividual, or analogously between two people. Response coupling\nwas manipulated by making targets drift randomly (decoupled) or\ncontingently (coupled). Results showed long-range correlations in\ntime series of inter-response intervals exhibited complexity\nmatching for both individuals and dyads, but only when responses\nwere coupled via contingent drift. We conclude that complexity\nmatching observed between individuals can similarly occur within\none individual, suggesting a general principle of interaction at\nwork.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"complex systems; complexity matching; joint\naction; interpersonal dynamics; coordination"}],"section":"Publication-based-Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/17z0c61x","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Daniel","middle_name":"S","last_name":"Schloesser","name_suffix":"","institution":"UC Merced","department":""},{"first_name":"Alma","middle_name":"G","last_name":"Munoz","name_suffix":"","institution":"UC Merced","department":""},{"first_name":"Christopher","middle_name":"T","last_name":"Kello","name_suffix":"","institution":"UC Merced","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28145/galley/17804/download/"}]}
