Communicating without a functioning language system: implications for the role of language in mentalizing. (2011, positive): “To this end we coded strategies that the Sender employed following this coding scheme (see de Ruiter et al., 2010; Galantucci, 2005 for a comparable approach): Strategy A: Go to Receiver location, Pause/Rotate to match Receiver orientation, Go to Sender location.”
Recipient design in human communication: simple heuristics or perspective taking? (2012, background): “Several semiotic games have been developed and studied (Camerer, 2003; Weber and Camerer, 2003; Galantucci, 2005; Selten and Warglien, 2007; Scott-Phillips et al., 2009; Feiler and Camerer, 2010), with the TCG being one of the few that has been studied both from a behavioral and neuroscientific…”
In Search of the Neural Circuits of Intrinsic Motivation (2007, positive): “To some extent this proposed approach is related to Galantucci’s experiments on dynamics of convention formation in an novel, previously unknown medium ( Galantucci, 2005 ).”
Rich memory and distributed phonology (2010, methodology): “…systems have been done with human subjects either by creating a task where they must communicate with each other using a completely novel medium (Galantucci, 2005; Galantucci and Steels, 2008) or by doing simulations using artificial computational agents (e.g., Steels and Vogt, 1997; deBoer,…”
Cumulative cultural evolution in the laboratory: An experimental approach to the origins of structure in human language (2008, background): “In Selten and Warglien’s experiments, as in those of Galantucci (27) and Garrod et al. (28, 29), participants interact repeatedly with the explicit goal of arriving at a shared system for communication.”
Agent-Based Models of Strategies for the Emergence and Evolution of Grammatical Agreement (2013, background): “Agentbased experiments are complementary to other approaches that also investigate how economizing principles shape human language: by conducting artificial language learning experiments [45], or by observing language games with human subjects [46,47].”
Structural priming: a critical review. (2008, background): “One approach is to study priming in groups to see how communicative systems emerge and develop (Garrod & Doherty, 1994; see Barr, 2004; Galantucci, 2005; Selten & Warglien, 2007).”
Language as shaped by the brain. (2008, background): “Greenfield&Gillespie-Lynch also consider perceptualmotor factors to be an important, but insufficient, starting point for understanding language. They argue that the structure of actions may provide an infrastructure for linguistic behavior (see, e.g., Byrne & Byrne [1993] on the complex action sequ”
