Version 7.1 by Clara Stiller on 2022/04/01 10:39

Teamwork concepts:

  • Joint activities
    • Interpredictability
      ability, to predict what others will do (foresee if someone needs help e.g.  exit the train with a baby stroller)
    • Common ground
      team has to have mutual knowledge, beliefs and assumptions about others' skills or capabilities -> related to the Ontology in our project
    • Directability
      individuals are able to modify actions of the others, as well as conditions and priorities
      one can influence others, they react to the influence 
  • shared mental model
    • Mental Model
      • = internal representation of the world, which is used to describe, explain and predict
      • related to 'theory of mind'
      • a theory of mind enables the ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, intentions, emotions, desires) that are different from one's own
        example: Richard believes that MAry intends him to persuade Albert that...
    • Shared mental Model

      • 'overlap' of individual mental models, knowledge representation shared by team members
        *same use as mental model, but for team behavior (describe, explain, predict)
      • allows coordination and adaption of changes
