Effect-based accounts of human action control have recently highlighted the possibility of representing one's own actions in terms of anticipated changes in the behavior of social interaction partners. In contrast to action effects that pertain to the agent's body or the agent's physical environment, social action effects have been proposed to come with peculiarities inherent to their social nature. Here, we revisit the currently most prominent demonstration of such a peculiarity: the role of eye contact for action-effect learning in social contexts (Sato & Itakura, 2013, Cognition, 127, 383-390). In contrast to the previous demonstration of action-effect learning, a conceptual and a direct replication both yielded evidence for the absence of action-effect learning in the proposed design, irrespective of eye contact. Bayesian statistics supported this claim by demonstrating evidence in favor of the null hypothesis of no effect. These results suggest a limited generalizability of the original findings-for example, due to limitations that are inherent in the proposed study design or due to cultural differences.
基于效果的人类行动控制理论最近强调了根据社会互动伙伴行为的预期变化来表征自身行动的可能性。与涉及行动者身体或物理环境的行动效果不同，社会行动效果被认为具有其社会本质所固有的独特性。在此，我们重新审视目前关于这种独特性的最突出例证：眼神接触在社会情境中对行动效果学习的作用（佐藤 & 板仓，2013年，《认知》，第127卷，第383 - 390页）。与之前关于行动效果学习的例证不同，一项概念性复制和一项直接复制均表明，在所提出的设计中不存在行动效果学习的证据，无论是否有眼神接触。贝叶斯统计通过证明支持无效果零假设的证据来支持这一说法。这些结果表明原始研究结果的可推广性有限——例如，这可能是由于所提出的研究设计中固有的局限性或文化差异所致。
