<Natalie Sebanz> investigates the cognitive mechanisms that allow people to perform <joint action>. Her work examines how individuals anticipate a partner's actions and coordinate their own actions with them.https://www.leopoldina.org/en/members/member-list/detail/natalie-sebanz[Institutional research profile; social interaction and joint action]{ref}
In a 2003 experiment with <Günther Knoblich> and colleagues, two people divided the responses of a <spatial stimulus-response compatibility> task between them. Each person made one response. A compatibility effect appeared when the task was shared, resembling performance when a single person controlled both responses; it was absent when the one-response task was performed alone.<Representing others' actions: just like one's own? by Natalie Sebanz and others>[Cognition 88, B11–B21; abstract, individual and group task conditions]{ref}
The comparison made another person's role experimentally relevant while retaining the individual's response requirement. It supported the idea that a partner's available action can enter one's own task representation. This is a claim about measured performance under specified conditions; identifying its precise neural implementation requires additional evidence.
