行为协调和同步有助于维持许多社会物种（如灵长类动物和鸟类）之间的沟通，合作和联系的共同生物机制。同样，人类的语言和社会系统也可能与协调相协调，以促进沟通和关系的形成。在相互作用的个体之间，已经证明了运动模式和语音声学特性的趋同性的总体相似性。在本研究中，我们调查了如何协调的运动有助于观察员的感知的隶属关系（朋友与陌生人）之间的两个交谈的个人。我们使用新的计算方法来量化运动协调，并证明相互熟悉的个体更频繁地协调他们的运动。观察员使用协调来判断会话对之间的联系，但只有当知觉刺激仅限于头部和面部区域。这些结果表明，观察到的人类运动协调可能有助于感知决策的基础上提供的信息感知。
Behavioral coordination and synchrony contribute to a common biological mechanism that maintains communication, cooperation and bonding within many social species, such as primates and birds. Similarly, human language and social systems may also be attuned to coordination to facilitate communication and the formation of relationships. Gross similarities in movement patterns and convergence in the acoustic properties of speech have already been demonstrated between interacting individuals. In the present studies, we investigated how coordinated movements contribute to observers' perception of affiliation (friends vs. strangers) between two conversing individuals. We used novel computational methods to quantify motor coordination and demonstrated that individuals familiar with each other coordinated their movements more frequently. Observers used coordination to judge affiliation between conversing pairs but only when the perceptual stimuli were restricted to head and face regions. These results suggest that observed movement coordination in humans might contribute to perceptual decisions based on availability of information to perceivers.
