Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Complex problems necessitate effective collaborative problem solving.
  • Computer-mediated environments are increasingly used for collaboration, but their impact on interaction quality is poorly understood.
  • Measuring collaborative success is crucial for understanding computer-mediated interaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a collaborative block design task to evaluate and quantify pair performance.
  • To assess the impact of computer-mediated environments on collaborative problem solving.
  • To provide a tool for researchers studying computer-mediated social interaction.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative block design task was created, involving information sharing to complete visuospatial puzzles.
  • Two versions were developed: a physical task and a virtual reality (VR) task.
  • Preliminary studies were conducted with the physical (N=18 pairs) and VR (N=31 pairs) versions to refine the task and develop performance measures.

Main Results:

  • Performance measures for the collaborative task were successfully developed.
  • Pair performance in the task was found to be normally distributed.
  • Performance positively correlated with participants' visuospatial skills but not with other background factors.

Conclusions:

  • The developed collaborative block design task effectively measures pair performance in visuospatial problem-solving.
  • Visuospatial skills are a key determinant of success in this collaborative task.
  • The task specifications are released to facilitate further research into computer-mediated collaboration.
