“As many as you can: Social attention in groups and multi-agent contexts” Francesca Capozzi, McGill University
Humans spontaneously pay attention to social cues displayed by other people: for example, we look at their faces to grasp their emotions, and we follow their gaze to look where they are looking and to foresee their intentions. Remarkably, however, this “social attention” has so far mostly been investigated in dyadic social settings, that is, situations where two individuals interact. On the contrary, little is presently known on how social attention operates to support social interactions in multi-agent contexts, that is, situations where more than two individuals are present. In these multi-agent settings, multiple people might display multiple and often divergent social cues: how does attention respond to such cues? In this talk, I will present some of my past and current works on this frontier topic, particularly focusing on small social groups (i.e., three-five people interacting, like at a family dinner), a fundamental unit of our everyday social life. I will show how social attention processes change dynamically as the complexity of the social context change. I will also discuss some future directions that will contribute to revealing the mechanisms through which social attention remains a powerful tool to navigate our complex social world.
