“…The final meta-analysis included 18 experiments (273 foci, 431 participants) from 17 published studies. The study set (see Figure 1) comprised three physical partnering experiments (Abe et al, 2019; Chauvigné et al, 2018; Newman-Norlund et al, 2008) and 15 cognitive partnering experiments (Alkire et al, 2018; Chaminade et al, 2012; Decety et al, 2004; Elliott et al, 2006; Kircher et al, 2009; Koike et al, 2019; Lee et al, 2018; Redcay et al, 2010; Rice et al, 2016; Salazar et al, 2021; Schilbach et al, 2010; Schuwerk et al, 2017; Shpurov et al, 2020; Xie et al, 2020).…”

“…Partnering has also been studied in sociocognitive contexts that lack the precise motor synchrony requirements of joint physical actions. This includes tasks such as conversation (Rauchbauer et al, 2019), cooperative economic games (e.g., prisoner's dilemma game; Rilling et al, 2004), and collaborative problem-solving (Shpurov et al, 2020) that all require a high degree of mental effort and conceptual thinking. Although the various forms of partnered interactions rely on different effector systems and temporal dynamics, they all share a requirement for ongoing mutual adjustment to maintain the exchange.…”

“…In particular, the TPJ appears to be a promising candidate for a brain area that might mediate implicit mentalizing during collaborative actions. The TPJ is active during both joint actions and sociocognitive problem-solving spanning a wide variety of tasks (e.g., physical interaction, Chauvigné et al, 2018; joint attention, Koike et al, 2019; cooperative puzzle solving, Shpurov et al, 2020; cooperative word games, Salazar et al, 2021). The established role of the TPJ in intention processing and the attribution of mental states to others during passive spectator tasks (Saxe & Kanwisher, 2003; Saxe & Wexler, 2005) may explain why this area is active during partnered tasks.…”

Objective: Partnered interactions are a key manifestation of the cooperative nature of the human species. Partnering can take on a diversity of formats, including cognitive activities like problem-oriented conversations and physical tasks like moving furniture together. The primary objective of the present study was to use quantitative meta-analysis techniques to explore the neural basis of partnered interaction in search of domain-general brain areas common across interaction modalities. Method: An activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis of 18 functional neuroimaging studies was conducted that contrasted task performance with a partner and task performance in the absence of an interactive partner. Various interactive tasks were included that covered both cognitive and physical formats of partnering. Results: The results of the meta-analysis revealed a single significant ALE cluster with two subpeaks in the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ), an area strongly associated with mentalizing, social prediction, and cooperation. Conclusions: The identification of the rTPJ as the principal cross-modal area for partnering highlights the role of implicit mentalizing in all forms of partnered interaction. The discovery of two distinct subpeaks may indicate unique differences in mentalizing function between the two areas. Public Significance StatementThe neuroscience of real-time social interaction has garnered a great deal of attention among researchers in recent years. We conducted a meta-analysis of 18 neuroimaging studies of partnered interaction across both cognitive and physical tasks. The results indicate the importance of mentalizing and social prediction for the process of partnering across diverse modalities of interaction.

“…The quality of the communication between the emergency ambulance team and the way they use their clinical reasoning skills while intervening crucial. The idea that ‘the group is more than the members that make up that group’ is one of the basic principles of social psychology [ 6 ]. Observational studies on teamwork behaviors related to effective clinical performance have identified communication, coordination, and leadership patterns that support effective teamwork [ 3 ].…”

“…The intimacy formed in the group meets the adaptation needs of the group members, tasks the group handles meet the achievement needs of the group members, and sociability in the group allows for meeting the identity-based needs of group members [ 7 ]. People feel and behave differently when doing things together, as if their individual minds become components of a “group mind.“ Much empirical evidence supports this metaphor on collaborative social interactions such as group problem-solving [ 6 ]. For example, the performance of a small group in solving problems may differ from the collective individual performance of all group members or the most productive group member working alone [ 8 – 11 ].…”

The effect of social interaction on decision making in emergency ambulance teams: a statistical discourse analysis

et al. 2023

Introduction This study examined the effects of social interaction, cognitive flexibility, and seniority on the correct response among emergency ambulance teams during case intervention. Methods The research, structured with the sequential exploratory mixed method, was conducted with 18 emergency ambulance personnel. The approach process of the teams working on the scenario was video recorded. The records were transcribed by the researchers, including gestures and facial expressions. Discourses were coded and modeled with regression. Results The number of discourses was higher in groups with high correct intervention scores. As the level of cognitive flexibility or seniority increased, the correct intervention score tended to decrease too. Informing has been identified as the only variable that positively affects the correct response to the emergency case, especially in the first period, which is directed toward case intervention preparation. Conclusion Within the findings of the research, it is recommended that activities and scenario-based training practices that will increase the intra-team communication of the emergency ambulance personnel should be included in the medical education and in-service training.
