SUMMARY:Behavioural and Neural Dynamics of Learning in Social Interaction

DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present evidence showing how social intera
 ction represents not only an important factor to consider when investigati
 ng human learning ecologically\, but also a catalyst for acquisition of ne
 w knowledge. We designed a paradigm where participants learned a series of
  unknown facts in different (social) learning contexts. First\, I will sho
 w results from a series of experiments conducted online (N=179)\, includin
 g data from people with Autistic Spectrum Condition. Second\, I will prese
 nt a large functional Near Infra-Red Spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning st
 udy\, where 27 dyads (N=54) learned in conversation with their partner\, a
 lternating roles between teacher and student\, while audio\, video\, head-
 movement\, physiology and brain data was collected. I will discuss results
  showing that brain-to-brain coherence could predict learning\, and that t
 he student-teacher brain coherence and learning relationship was modulated
  by behavioural factors. I will argue for a multimodal investigation of hu
 man social interaction\, using a two-person neuroscience approach that lin
 ks brain activity to behaviour.\n
