In recent years, a number of philosophers and cognitive scientists have advocated for an ‘interactive turn’ in the methodology of social cognition research: to become more ecologically valid, we must design experiments that are interactive rather than merely observational. While the practical aim of improving ecological validity in the study of social cognition is laudable, we think that the notion of ‘interaction’ is not suitable for this task. As it is currently deployed in the social cognition literature, this notion leads to serious conceptual and methodological confusion. In this article, we tackle this confusion on three fronts: (i) we revise the ‘interactionist’ definition of interaction; (ii) we demonstrate a number of potential methodological confounds that arise in interactive experimental designs; and (iii) we show that ersatz interactivity works just as well as the real thing. We conclude that the notion of ‘interaction’, as it is currently being deployed in this literature, obscures an accurate understanding of human social cognition. 1 Introduction2 Defining ‘Interaction’3 The Constituents of Interaction 3.1 The social Simon effect 3.2 Level-2 perspective-taking 3.3 Interaction effects on infant learning 3.4 Conversational alignment4 How Much Does ‘Real’ Interaction Matter?5 Conclusion
