Recently there has been much interest in social coordination of motor movements, or as it is referred to by some researchers, joint action. This paper reviews the cognitive perspective's common coding/mirror neuron theory of joint action, describes some of its limitations and then presents the behavioral dynamics perspective as an alternative way of understanding social motor coordination. In particular, behavioral dynamics' ability to explain the temporal coordination of interacting individuals is detailed. Two experiments are then described that demonstrate how dynamical processes of synchronization are apparent in the coordination underlying everyday joint actions such as martial art exercises, hand-clapping games, and conversations. The import of this evidence is that emergent dynamic patterns such as synchronization are the behavioral order that any neural substrate supporting joint action (e.g., mirror systems) would have to sustain.
最近，人们对运动动作的社会协调（或者一些研究人员称之为联合动作）产生了浓厚的兴趣。本文综述了认知视角的共同编码/镜像神经元联合动作理论，描述了其一些局限性，然后提出了行为动力学视角作为理解社会运动协调的另一种方式。特别是，行为动力学解释相互作用个体的时间协调的能力被详细描述。然后描述了两个实验，演示了在日常联合动作（如武术练习、拍手游戏和对话）的协调中，同步等动态过程是如何明显的。这一证据的重要意义在于，涌现的动态模式，如同步，是支持联合动作的任何神经基质（例如，镜像系统）都必须维持的行为秩序。
