This study introduces a new theoretical model for communication, viewing it as a dynamic, "alive" process rather than static signals. This "alive communication" model helps assess interactions with living beings and even technology.

Area of Science:

  • Communication Studies
  • Systems Theory
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Traditional communication research often uses static, signal-response models.
  • These methods focus on quantifiable aspects like frequency and duration, creating an objectified view of communication.
  • A more dynamic perspective is needed to capture the evolving nature of interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a theoretical model of communication based on a dynamic systems perspective.
  • Introduce the concept of "alive communication" as an alternative to static models.
  • Provide a framework for evaluating the "life-likeness" of various communication forms.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a dynamic systems perspective.
  • Employing the metaphor of "aliveness" in communication.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Defining "alive communication" through coregulation, ordinary variability, and innovation.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model conceptualizes communication as a developing, dynamic system, similar to living organisms.
    • Alive communication exhibits dynamically stable patterns over time.
    • The model offers a tool to evaluate the "life-likeness" of communication across different contexts.

    Conclusions:

    • The "alive communication" model offers a novel approach to understanding interaction dynamics.
    • This framework can be applied to diverse communication forms, including human-animal and human-robot interactions.
    • It provides a basis for assessing and treating communicative difficulties by identifying a lack of "aliveness".
