Deep dives

Learning joint action coordination

This podcast episode discusses how the coordination of degrees of freedom works when two individuals perform a joint action. The example of carrying a piano together is used to demonstrate how the movements of both individuals are interdependent. The podcast highlights that in joint action, the degrees of freedom are distributed across both individuals, leading to a coordinated system. It explores the development of joint coordination and the concept of synergies, where two degrees of freedom work together. The episode also discusses the role of practice and task constraints in shaping how individuals coordinate their movements.
