“…The contextual cueing effect is difficult to be observed when a target and distractors are separated by color (Jiang & Chun, 2001 ; Jiang & Leung, 2005 ; Vadillo et al, 2020 ). Zang et al ( 2022 ) recently overcame these two limitations. Participant pairs searched for different targets (i.e., a black T and a white T) among black and white Ls in each trial.…”

“…However, the target color assignment for a specific configuration remained consistent throughout the learning phase. In the middle of the experiment, unbeknownst to the participants, Zang et al ( 2022 ) swapped the instruction words for each configuration; that is, the participant was asked to search for a white T in the configuration in which they had searched for a black T and vice versa. As a result, the contextual cueing effect was found after swapping the instruction words.…”

Studies on joint action show that when two actors turn-takingly attend to each other’s target that appears one at a time, a partner’s target is accumulated in memory. However, in the real world, actors may not be certain that they attend to the same object because multiple objects often appear simultaneously. In this study, we asked participant pairs to search for different targets in parallel from multiple objects and investigated the memory of a partner’s target. We employed the contextual cueing paradigm, in which repetitive search forms associative memory between a target and a configuration of distractors that facilitates search. During the learning phase, exemplars of three target categories (i.e., bird, shoe, and tricycle) were presented among unique objects, and participant pairs searched for them. In Experiment 1, it was followed by a memory test about target exemplars. Consequently, the partner’s target was better recognized than the target that nobody searched for. In Experiments 2a and 2b, the memory test was replaced with the transfer phase, where one individual from the pair searched for the category that nobody had searched for while the other individual searched for the category the partner had searched for in the learning phase. The transfer phase did not show search facilitation underpinned by associative memory between the partner’s target and distractors. These results suggest that when participant pairs search for different targets in parallel, they accumulate the partner’s target in memory but may not form its associative memory with the distractors that facilitates its search.

While statistical learning is often studied individually, its collective representation through self-other integration remains unclear. This study examines dynamic self-other integration and its multi-brain mechanism using simultaneous recordings from dyads. Participants (N = 112) each repeatedly responded to half of a fixed stimulus sequence with either an active partner (joint context) or a passive observer (baseline context). Significant individual statistical learning was evident in the joint context, characterized by decreased reaction time (RT) and intra-brain neural responses, followed by a quadratic trend (i.e., first increasing and then decreasing) upon insertion of an interference sequence. More importantly, Brain-to-Brain Coupling (BtBC) in the theta band also showed learning and modulation-related trends, with its slope negatively and positively correlating with the slopes of RT and intra-brain functional connectivity, respectively. These results highlight the dynamic nature of self-other integration in joint statistical learning, with statistical regularities implicitly and spontaneously modulating this process. Notably, the BtBC serves as a key neural correlate underlying the dynamics of self-other integration.
