Machine-translated · View original
A cognitive science lab that describes in fine detail how people interact with their environment and with each other.
AboutAbout the lab
A close look at the body within interaction
The Yamamoto Lab specializes in cognitive science. The undergraduate lab seminar is called "Social Affordance Psychology."
The lab studies how perception and the body work when people interact with their surrounding environment and with other people.
It focuses on bodily skills and on how multiple cues, such as gaze, gestures, and words, are used at the same time.
The lab uses interaction analysis, a method of recording actual interactions and describing them in fine detail.
Key terms
- Interaction analysis
- A method of recording conversations or joint activities and transcribing in detail how the interaction unfolds in order to study it
- Multimodality
- The simultaneous use of multiple means, such as gaze and gestures, in addition to words
- Affordance
- The cues that an object or environment offers to a person using it, indicating what can be done with it
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how perception and the body work when people interact with their surrounding environment and with other people. It records real situations and describes in fine detail how gaze, gestures, and words intertwine.
*Illustrative imageBody Movements in Interaction
In conversation, meaning emerges from finely linked sequences of not only words but also gaze and gestures. The lab records interactions and analyzes sequences of bodily movement to explore how the self, the other person, and the surrounding environment work together as one.
*Illustrative imageMaking Sense of Atypical Interactions
The lab closely analyzes interactions in settings where misunderstandings easily occur, such as interviews between people with dementia and social workers, and classrooms that include children with developmental disabilities, and clarifies how difficulties are handled.
