Cooperation in multiple object tracking: A Pilot Study

Cooperation has its costs but also its benefits. In a Multiple Object Tracking Task with three different levels of difficulty (4, 5, and 6 targets to track, respectively), participants underwent two conditions: solo performance vs performance of the same individual in a dyad. The study's object...

Sumario:Cooperation has its costs but also its benefits. In a Multiple Object Tracking Task with three different levels of difficulty (4, 5, and 6 targets to track, respectively), participants underwent two conditions: solo performance vs performance of the same individual in a dyad. The study's objective was to explore whether the difference in performance between these two conditions is related to cooperation. Ten university students answered a self-report personality questionnaire (Big Five) and performed the visual tracking task. The dyads were recorded on video to identify communication strategies, problem-solving strategies, and target selection agreements. Dyads showed higher scores and slower reaction times compared to solo performance. Slower reaction times were positively associated with verbal exchanges and division of labor strategies. Agreeableness and extraversion, as measured by the self-report questionnaire, were positively associated with agreement on target selection. Interaction between members of a dyad and their personality traits might be relevant for understanding successful cooperation and its costs.
