{ "pk": 49796, "title": "Play fair: Humans prefer an equal division of labor in a joint multiple object tracking task", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "In daily life, humans perform tasks in teams, in which the labor division is decided by one individual in the team and not jointly by the team members (e.g., if an employer delegates a task to an employee). In the present study, we tested how the labor is divided if one team member decides the labor division in a joint multiple object tracking (MOT) task. We found that humans preferred to equally split the number of tracked targets in the joint MOT task. When comparing the data with our previous study, in which participants performed the same task with a computer partner, we found that this preference for an equal labor division is specific to interactions with a human but not with a computer partner. Moreover, participants also tended to take into account the tracking difficulty of the delegated targets more with a human compared to a computer partner.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Distributed cognition; Group Behaviour; Human-computer interaction; Social cognition" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3mc62087", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Basil", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Wahn", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Technical University Berlin", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Eva", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Wiese", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "TU Berlin", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2025-01-01T12:00:00-06:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49796/galley/37758/download/" } ] }
