Joint Action: From Perception-Action Links to Shared Representations
Joint Action: From Perception-Action Links to Shared Representations
This chapter focuses on examining the concept of joint action, which involves coordinated representation of perception–action processes. Investigations reveal that intimate relationships between perception and action result in coordination between two individuals who process the same perpetual or motor information that drives them to imitate each other. The chapter also finds that joint action can be performed with the need for cognitive representations of ideas and actions, and furthermore reveals that entrainment can provide indirect benefits for joint action by influencing the relationship prevailing between the performers along with respective cognitive processing.
Keywords: joint action, perception–action processes, motor information, entrainment, cognitive processing
