TRIAD COMMUNICATION AND SPECIFICITY OF MOTOR GAMES

Triads are studied from a motor communication point of view. Our study is aimed at a) identifying the various type that triads originate; b) measuring the differences among the type of the studied triads; and c) showing with specific examples the feasibility of triad games transferred to programs. 13 types are justified as being likely feasible as motor games. They correspond to complete triads and to triads with one missing connection between two of its nodes. Four games are compared through five different proxies: roles, intra-group interaction, interaction among groups, emissions and receptions, and positive or negative valence. The comparison demonstrates the specific behavior of motor triads. The results confirm the feasibility of the studied games and the relative differences between rivalry and solidarity. Motor games with a triad structure are a singular source of communication and a pedagogic alternative for game programs.
