Reference strategies in dialogues about ethnic faces: a toposemantic express-analysis

324

Abstract

In the experimental study in identification/discrimination of ethnic faces by dyads, the phenomena of mutual assimilation of the cognitive processes in communication partners were investigated. It is shown that the phenomenon of assimilation can be detected while comparing the partners’ “isostatic” fixation pat¬terns, which characterize the processes of visual attention and perception. At the same time, the lack of synchronization of the isostatic pattern between interlocutors may indicate a lower cognitive complexity of discrimination and a higher probability of successful discrimination. A tendency is observed for producing a more detailed reference structure of the dialogue in the conditions allowing better discrimination, and for less detailed dialogue when the communication partners interpret each other’s verbalizations as indicating that there are no differences in perceived ethnic faces.
