We show that collective learning about the best foraging sites is enhanced by agents foraging widely (using Lévy movement strategies) and exchanging some information about the best sites with other agents. Collaboration with Andrea Falcón, Max Aldana and Denis Boyer.

Realigning interaction-centered approaches from across disparate fields can fuel a figure-ground reversal in the cognitive sciences, here illustrated with an assortment of subfields around the classic hexagon: 1 interactional linguistics (Clift, 2016; Schegloff, Ochs, & Thompson, 1996); 2 grammars of language use (Ameka & Terkourafi, 2019; Gregoromichelaki et al., 2022); 3 cognitive ethnography (Hutchins, 1995); 4 situated action (Suchman, 2007); 5 social and second person neuroscience (Schilbach et al., 2013; Wheatley, Boncz, Toni, & Stolk, 2019); 6 joint action (Shockley, Richardson, & Dale, 2009; Vesper, Butterfill, Knoblich, & Sebanz, 2010); 7 dialogue modeling (Schlangen & Skantze, 2011); 8 embodied interaction (Bennett et al., 2021); 9 discursive psychology (Edwards, 1997); 10 ecological psychology (Rączaszek-Leonardi, Nomikou, Rohlf
