The symmetry of partner modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari

Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...
