| Abstract(in English) | This study measured how users feel a sense of being together in a virtual environment by using the social Simon paradigm (Sebanz et al, 2003, Cognition, 88, B11-B21). In this paradigm, one participant presses a key in response to one color, and the other participant presses another key in response to the other color. Despite the fact that each participant is performing a go/no-go task, an effect similar to a standard Simon effect occurs if they feel a sense of being together. In the present experiment, a pan: of participants in different rooms observed the same virtual environment through head-mounted displays and performed the task. In one condition, the participants had a 3-min session to interact with their co-actor in the virtual environment before the start of the experimental session and could see a co-actor's avatar throughout the session. In the other condition, the participants also could see a co-actor's avatar but did not have time to interact with their co-actor. The results showed that the social Simon effect occurred only for the former condition, suggesting that the 3-min interaction with the partner is important for evoking a sense of being together in the virtual environment. |
