Abstract

This study investigated agent and expression intensity recognition in point-light displays depicting dancing performances. In a first session, participants danced with two different expression intensities to music, solo or in dyads. In a subsequent session, they watched point-light displays of 1–5-s duration, depicting their own, their partner’s or another participant’s recorded actions, and were asked to identify the agent (self vs. partner vs. stranger) and the intended expression intensity (expressive vs. inexpressive) of the performer. The results indicate that performer identity and expression intensity could be discerned reliably from displays as short as 1 s. The accuracy in judgment increased with exposure duration and, for performer identification, with higher expression intensity. Judgment accuracy in agent and expression intensity recognition tasks correlated with self-report empathy indices. Accuracy correlated also with confidence in judgment, but only in the intensity recognition task. The results are discussed in relation to perceptual and neural mechanisms underlying action and intention recognition.

Kinematic analyses showed that the total distance travelled in space for each of the 13 motion capture markers attached to the dancers’ bodies (see below) was significantly higher in the expressive than in the inexpressive displays: ts > 16.95, ps < 0.001. This confirmed that the experimental manipulation had an effect on action execution, and that the participants were following the instructions.

In a preliminary analysis, observation condition (visual vs. audiovisual, i.e., with the original music being played along with the point-light movies) was included as an independent variable in the analyses, in order to compare the results with findings in our previous studies (Sevdalis & Keller, 2009, 2010). These analyses did not yield any differences between the observation conditions, thus, replicating our previous results. Henceforth, we dropped the observation condition variable from the analyses. Furthermore, we collapsed across musical piece, tempo, context, and selection, because these variables were not directly relevant to our research aims.
