Creative Couplings

Creative Couplings

by Andreas Roepstroff

Abstract: How is it that two persons may solve a task better than each of them may on their own? Using a set of simple experiments, I will examine how people when solving simple tasks in interaction couple to each other in several domains. It seems that the dynamics of these interaction are shaped not just by the task at hand, but very much by the rules of the game. This may have implications for how to design creative settings.
