{ "pk": 28737, "title": "What are you talking about?: A Cognitive Task Analysis of how specificity incommunication facilitates shared perspective in a confusing collaboration task", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "This study investigated how participant’s specificity in shar-ing of information in collaborative problem solving was criti-cal to them reaching a successful shared perspective. We ana-lyzed participants’ communication strategies in a collaborativetask designed to make finding common ground challenging.We set out to better understand the difference between suc-cessful and unsuccessful collaborations by conducting a cog-nitive task analysis. From participants’ utterances, we inferredcognitive processes associated with repeating communicationmoves and coded those processes as if-then production rules.We thereby specified the communication strategies used duringinteractions and developed a production-rule model to explainwhether and how shared perspective developed or not. Ourcognitive task analysis indicated that although all collaboratingpairs described the objects they were seeing with a variety offeatures, the successful pairs were more specific in using com-binations of features. Quantitatively, we found significant cor-relations between frequency of combined feature statementsand success in sharing perspectives.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Collaborative Problem Solving; Scientific Rea-soning; Creativity; Coordination; Cognitive Task Analysis;Production Rules" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentations", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/41s59946", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Yugo", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hayashi", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Ritsumeikan University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Kenneth", "middle_name": "R.", "last_name": "Koedinger", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Carnegie Mellon University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2019-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28737/galley/18608/download/" } ] }
