Language evolution game
Experiment
Take part in a unique experiment where you’ll participate in a game of telephone, a popular game in which a message is passed on from person to person to see how the message changes. During this experiment, you will imitate gestures and sounds of the people before you and pass them forward so that those after you can also learn them. This way, we’ll create a chain of hundreds of people during the InScience weekend. Join and help researchers from Donders Citylab study how imitation and learning from other people shaped the evolution of language.
You can just hop by when it fits your festival schedule the best. Participation takes only 5 minutes (as long as there’s no queue).
