Performance in pairs: Human Minds acting together

Wednesday 8^th November, 6:30-8:30pm

KG01, Talbot Campus, Bournemouth University

My PhD student, Juan Camilo Avendaño Diaz, and I are running an interactive talk in collaboration with the ESRC Festival of Social Science to explore recent research findings in psychology suggesting that our cognitive functions and behaviour could be shaped by another person who performs similar tasks next to us. During this talk, we will introduce some of these scientific findings and the theories behind, along with their potential implications for our everyday life. You will also have the chance to see psychological experiments in action, and to try some of them on-site.

The ESRC Festival of Social Science offers a fascinating insight into some of the country’s leading social science research and how it influences our social, economic, and political lives. Bournemouth University are running 11 fascinating events including debates, workshops, virtual exhibitions and much more!
