Abstract

When two people load a dishwasher their behaviors are not prescribed in advance. Nonetheless their actions become so coordinated that they come to behave as a single unit rather than a pair of independent individuals. Cohesive yet highly flexible interaction such as this also occurs between friends clearing a table or tidying a room, among athletes on a sports team, and between improvising musicians or dancers. Determining the behavioral dynamics (Warren, 2006) of these multi-agent behaviors requires understanding how the physical, informational and biomechanical properties of the agent-environment task context operate to constrain how, what and when different action
possibilities and action mode transitions occur. With this in mind, the aim of the current study was to investigate and model the behavioral dynamics of a joint action object movement and passing task.
