Please join us at this event! The full speaker list can be found herehttps://www.mcgill.ca/psychology/events-colloquia-0/brownbag-series. ———————————————————— Something in the way we move: Movement coordination during conversational interaction Nida Latif, McGill Psychology
When we engage in conversations with others, we tend to coordinate our behaviour with our partner across many domains: we start using similar words, align our speaking rate and pitch and coordinate our overall conversational movements such as our facial expressions, postures and gestures. It has been suggested that such coordination of our behaviour comprises a specialized mechanism that is needed to manage the rich complexity inherent to conversational interactions. In this talk, I will specifically focus on the coordination of conversational movement between social partners. I will present previous work where I used a novel movement quantification technique to demonstrate that social factors, such as the affiliation between talkers, influence the amount of movement coordination that is present during a conversation. Further, I will show that the perception of such coordinated behaviour might facilitate the important decisions we constantly make as we navigate our social world. Finally, I will present some ongoing work that is investigating how movement coordination may be used as an indicator of conversational quality, potentially allowing us to track and maintain the success of our everyday communication.
