  • None of the above

7. Which of the following is NOT a group outlined by Lumsden et al. (2012)?

  • Pro-self individual
  • Pro-self competitive
  • Pro-group

8. Miles et al (2011) also found:

  • Participants were unlikely to be synchronous with the outgrip

10. Which is NOT an assumption of the behavioural dynamics perspective (Schmidt, 2010)?

  • Individual differences can be seen in synchrony
  • Physical systems are made of components that balance to form stable patterns
  • Two objects which share an environment will naturally synchronise
  • The same patterns that organise dynamic principles also organise joint action
