dc.description.abstract	This thesis is intended to explain some of the results which were obtained in an experiment by Van der Wel, Sebanz, Knoblich (2009). The present study is centralized around the notion of co-representation, by which the sharing of mental representations of a task by two or more people is meant. The type of co-representation which is assumed to take place is based on the Hick-Hyman law, which states that for an increasing number of alternatives to choose from reaction time increases proportionally. This law has its origin in Information Theory and has mostly been applied to Human-Computer Interaction. A better understanding of co-representation may lead to a better understanding of joint action also. Knowing about the mechanisms which underlie social interaction (as studied by the field of joint action) can be useful for designing robots which interact more socially with humans.	en_US
