Kadota Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that closely examines how people interact with each other, starting from pointing gestures and demonstratives.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading interaction through pointing and demonstratives.
The Kadota Lab is a cognitive science lab that closely observes and studies interaction between people.
The lab looks not only at spoken language but also at bodily movements such as pointing, gaze, and handing over objects.
Through experiments, it tests how the choice of demonstratives such as 'kore,' 'sore,' and 'are' (roughly 'this,' 'that,' and 'that over there') changes depending on what is visible to the other person.
The lab records conversations and interview situations on video and analyzes in detail how the interaction unfolds.
Key terms
- Social interaction
- The process in which people who are in the same setting build joint action together by exchanging words and gestures
- Demonstratives
- Words such as 'kore,' 'sore,' and 'are' ('this,' 'that,' and 'that over there') that point to things in the immediate setting
- Multimodality
- The state in which multiple means, such as speech, gestures, and gaze, are used at the same time
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates, through experiments and video analysis, how people point to things and communicate with each other on the spot. A distinctive feature is its attention to both language and bodily movement.
*Illustrative imagePointing and Demonstratives
The lab studies when and how demonstratives such as 'kore' and 'sore' and pointing gestures are used. Experiments test how whether the target is visible to the speaker and to the listener affects the choice of words.
*Illustrative imageInteraction in Conversation
The lab analyzes in detail, from video, the interaction that takes place when people hand over objects or work together. It clarifies the process by which interaction is built up while people share what is visible to each other.
*Illustrative imageInteraction in Support Settings
The lab also studies interaction in situations where communication becomes difficult. It analyzes how people deal on the spot with troubles that arise in the interaction.
