Abstract

People coordinate to perform joint tasks in daily interactions, and successful outcomes often require that they perform synchronized and complementary behaviors. Using computational methods, we develop a simple linear model to describe dynamics of synchrony and complementarity and explore their task-dependence, with task context consisting of active, inactive, and inhibitory constraints on communication. Results reflect that task constraints can be a robust predictor of simulated agents’ behaviors over time. We describe preliminary theoretical implications from these results, and relate them to broader proposals of synergistic self-organization in communication.

Keyphrases: Complementarity, active inhibition, interpersonal dynamics, modeling and simulation, synchrony, synergy
