Abstract
In recent studies of graphical dialogue, the level of communicative interaction has been identified as an important influence on the form of graphical representations. Here, we report the results of a ‘Pictionary-like’ concept drawing experiment which compares the contribution of repetition and level of interaction to changes in the form of graphical representations. In one version of the task, participants repeatedly produce drawings of the same set of items. In the other participants produce drawings of different items. In both cases, when the level of communicative interaction between the participants varies, the form of the representation produced by the pair also varies. These results suggest that three different processes are contributing to changes in graphical form in these tasks: practise, reduction and mutual-modification. We propose that the last of these, mutual-modifiability is important for the evolution of new conventions.
