Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

280
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

372
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Facial Feedback Hypothesis01:24

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

945
Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

874
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Components of Language01:24

Components of Language

838
Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.

Levels of Communication I: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Small Group

16.2K
Interpersonal communication focuses on the exchange of messages between two people.
We can participate in these relationships through verbal, nonverbal, and mediated communication. We engage in verbal communication when we use words during our interaction to convey specific meanings. On the other hand, nonverbal communication refers to various factors that can impact how we understand each other—for example, facial expressions.
We interact with others using mediated technologies like the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Voice and vocalizations are proposed as a foundational element of communication, predating formal language structures. This perspective highlights dynamic entanglement and participatory sense-making as key to shared human cognition and world-building.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Linguistics
  • Anthropology

Background:

  • Traditional views of language rely on distinct, unobservable minds.
  • The linguistic/non-linguistic boundary is often arbitrary, excluding vocal communication elements.
  • Uttering (voicing) is a more ancient phenomenon than formal linguistic structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose voicing as a fundamental aspect of communication.
  • To explore voice's role in ritual, rite, and subjective experience.
  • To reframe shared cognition through dynamic entanglement and participatory sense-making.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of communication and subjectivity.
  • Examination of voice's role across diverse domains (inner speech, collective utterances).
  • Review of empirical evidence from behavioral and neuroimaging studies on joint speaking.

Main Results:

  • Voice creates temporally bound subjectivity across various communication forms.
  • Dynamic entanglement in real-time interaction fosters reciprocal influence.
  • Participatory sense-making offers a framework for understanding shared cognition.

Conclusions:

  • Shared world construction in humans may stem from dynamic entanglement in joint speaking.
  • This approach liberates the study of shared cognition from restrictive metaphysical assumptions.
  • A rich scientific agenda can emerge from understanding voice and participatory sense-making.
