Abstract
In this paper, a study was made in order to compare the effects of oral and written communication on the
performance of cooperative tasks. Also, it was evaluated if there were differences in the type of
participants‟ verbal interactions (directive vs. non-directive) due to the form of communication allowed
and its effect in the task performance. Sixteen undergraduate students assembled tridimensional figures in
two computers connected via Internet. Participants were randomly assigned in two groups exposed to an
inverted sequence of two experimental conditions during the task solution: with the possibility of oral or
written communication. Results showed similar efficient rates when the participants were exposed to oral
or written communication. About directive and non-directive interactions it was observed that in almost all
dyads one of the participants showed more directive verbal interventions than his/her peer, regardless of
the mode of communication used in the experimental session. Results are discussed in terms of the
morphology vs. the function of the stipulated modes of communication.
Key Words: Cooperation, Oral Communication, Written Communication, Communication Effect, Social
Behavior.
Introduction
According to Ribes (2001) and Ribes, Rangel & López (2008), the social behavior is possible by a
conventional contact media in which interactions among individuals and their environment are articulated
as, and through, language. Ribes, et al. (2005) recognized that in the study of different cooperative
relations, the linguistic behavior could be a determinant factor of its occurrence.
In such a way that in the experimental study of social behavior, it has been found that in choice situations
between cooperative alternatives vs. non-cooperatives (see Note 1), the participants showed a greater

preference for cooperative responses when they established task-related verbal interactions, before or
during its execution, compared to when this kind of interaction was restricted (e.g. Biccieri & Lev-On,
2007; Cohen, Wildschut & Insko, 2010; Hake & Schmid, 1981; Marwell & Schmitt, 1975; Meleady,
Hopthrow & Crisp, 2013; Pulido, 2012; Pulido, Rangel & Ortiz, 2014; Ribes et al., 2005, 2006, 2008;
Wichman, 1970).
An aspect to consider in the quoted studies is that in most of them, the type of allowed linguistic
interactions among participants was oral and the participants solved the experimental task in the same
experimental cubicle. In this regard, Ahmad, Bangash, Bano & Khan (2008) reported that when participants
solve the task in a face-to-face situation, verbal and non verbal interaction was encouraged while they
worked on a common goal. Bicchieri & Lev-On (2007) suggested that face-to-face interactions support
contextual signs such as: voice tone, gesture, visual contact, etc., contributing to the increment of
cooperative responses among the participants; formulating the question of if in the absence of these
contextual signs, the aforementioned verbal interaction effect would be present, and proposing the
evaluation of the influence of impersonal communication in cooperative tasks given the considerable
number of this type of interaction that takes place.
Bicchieri & Lev-On (2007) presented also a review of studies on the cooperative behavior where the effects
of different forms of communication (i.e. written, audio, videoconference) were evaluated. In this review,
in all cases was reported an increment of the cooperative responses with respect to situation where verbal
communication was restricted; they also found that: a) the degree on the communication effect varied
according to the richness of the communication channel (e.g. when the communication was via
videoconference the results were more close to those founded in face-to-face interactions, and when the
participants’ communication was interrupted, the cooperation decreased, and it increased again when the
communication was restituted); and b) when the allowed communication was asynchronous, it difficult the
establishment of agreements and the cooperation on the task; and when the agreements were settled, they
were more frequently broken up, in comparison with face-to-face situations.
On their review, Biccieri and Lev-On (2007) concluded that in computer-mediated interaction
(videoconference, text, audio, etc.) the conversation structures were altered (e.g. for the talking-turns to be
taken, or their sequence and alternation became problematic) disrupting the immediate feedback and
preventing or impeding the required coordination to solve a common task. They pointed out an additional
consequence in this type of interactions: it prevented the emergency of a participant that takes the initiative
and proposes the strategies that facilitate the accomplishment of the required task, as observed in face-to-
face interaction situations. The authors then highlighted the relevance of this kind of directive interventions
to improve the performance on cooperative tasks (Bruttel & Fishbacher, 2013, Hernández Lagos, 2014;
Orbel, van de Kragt & Dawes, 1988; Sutter & Rivas, 2014; van Knippenberg, van Knippenberg & Wilke,
2001). In this matter, Knipperberg et al. (2001) mentioned that in cooperative tasks, in those which helping
others is helping yourself (partial altruistic tasks), the use of power is affected, this is, because with a
common task, the participants try to influence each other.
So far, the effect of verbal interactions same as the emergency of certain types of interventions (directive or
non directive ones) in cooperative tasks, the analysis is based on the choice of cooperating or not. However,
as Pulido et al. (2013) pointed out, in these experimental preparations, the concurrent presentation of the
alternatives of cooperate and non cooperate, could impede the exploration of the effects that each of them
could have in the participants’ behavior. According to this, Pulido et al. (2013) and Rangel & Peña (in
review) evaluated the communication effect in situation of forced cooperation, founding better efficient
indices on the task performance when the participants were allowed to have verbal interaction compared
with situation where the communication was restricted.

Given these findings it seems relevant to question whether in forced cooperative situations, different effects
are also observed due to different modes of communication. The goal of this study is then to compare the
effects on the performance of a cooperative task with oral communication vs. written communication.
Methods
Participants
Sixteen undergraduate students, 13 male and 3 female, with ages in the range of 18 to 25 years old,
voluntarily participated in the study in exchange of desktop objects they could choose (i.e. pencils, text
markers or pens).
Materials, devices and experimental situation
The sessions took place in an illuminated room, free of distractions. In each of two desk in opposite
directions and with a tall bookshelf between them, was placed a DellTM
computer model Allienware X51
with Intel CoreTM
i7 64 bytes processor, with a NVIDIATM
graphic card model GeForce GTX 670, a LCD
Allienware 23” monitor model OptX AW2310 at 120 Hz, a mouse and a keyboard. In some sessions, when
oral communication was allowed, microphones and earphones were also used. Both computers were
Internet connected and the participants’ answers were automatically registered.
A tridimensional (3D) collaborative virtual environment (CVE) software system was used. On it, the users
worked in dyads while both participants could see the same virtual scenario, they saw it from a different
point of view that matched the place they located themselves in the virtual world at any given moment.
The screen of the sessions was taped with the aTube CatcherTM
application that also registered, when
allowed, the verbal interchange of the participants. When the communication was written a chat was used,
and it automatically registered the written messages in a text file. The software application automatically
saved the position of each object in the environment, for this data, an ad hoc application was developed for
its treatment. Sigma PlotTM
10.0 and ExcelTM
applications were used to graphic them.
Design
An intrasubject design was implemented; this allowed comparisons intra and among participants, and
among groups. The participants were divided in eight dyads that were randomly assigned in two
experimental groups. The sequence of conditions was different for each group.
All dyads were exposed to an instructional session for the software application (a demonstration session).
Afterwards, both groups were exposed to six sessions to solve the experimental task. For the Group 1, in
the first three sessions the participants had the possibility of oral communication and in the last three the
allowed communication modality was written text through a chat. In the Group 2, the order of these
conditions was inverted. Table 1 shows the experimental design.

Procedure
Like in Rangel & Peña study (in review) where the effects of allowing or not communication were
compared, the experimental task consisted in the assembly of pieces to form geometric figures in a CVE; an
“island” in which 14 pieces of different color were placed around (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The initial
pieces were made by united cubes, with one, two or three of them as shown in Table 2.
Figure 1. The CVE for the task accomplishment. This is the initial configuration of the pieces to assemble a
geometric figure in the CVE.
Figure 2. A humanoid avatar. Each avatar was labelled during the session with the participant’s name to
facilitate the communication. A cube was formed by several pieces.

In the experiment, the participants assembled six different figures as shown in Table 3, one for each session
to avoid a learning effect. During the session, the participants could observe the figure to be assembled in a
model formed by plastic pieces, as the one in Figure 3.

In the CVE the users were graphically represented by a humanoid avatar in first person, that is to say, they
could not see themselves in the virtual world. The avatar corresponded to the participant’s gender and had
its name above to facilitate the identification and communication (see Figure 2).
The human-computer interaction in the CVE was made through a combination of keys and the mouse. They
could navigate (walk or fly over the island); and select, move or rotate each piece or object. During the
session a piece of paper with the combination of the keys to interact with the CVE was available for the
participants (see Appendix). There was no time limit to solve the task.
In the demonstration session the participants were allowed to familiarize with the CVE application for 3 to
5 minutes, before they started the session. Then the next instructions were given to them:
“The two of you are going to work together to assemble a figure like this (the figure in plastic was then
shown to them and it was also verbally explained, for example: „this is a cross with two levels, each bar of
the cross has two cubes‟). Not all the pieces are necessary to assemble the figure. We are here in the next
room; please let us know when you have finished.”
When the alternative to communicate was oral, then the next was added:
“To communicate with each other use the microphone that comes with the earphones.”
When the alternative to communicate was written text, the added indication was:
“To communicate with each other you are going to use a chat. To activate it press the „Enter‟ key and to
deactivate it use the „Esc‟ key. They are also indicated in the piece of paper you have with the list of the
instructions to interact with the application.”
Data Analysis
According to the experimental design the presented data analyses are intra-subject (cf. Acuña, 2010).
Inefficient Rate. Similar to Rangel & Peña (in review), an inefficient rate for the task accomplishment was
calculated based on the sum of the crossed distance of each piece or object, both: those that formed the final
figure and those that were moved even if they were not part of the final figure.
In order to calculate the inefficient rate, a unite with the sum of the crossed distances required to put all the
objects that formed the final figure of the session was used, that is, the unite is equal to the most efficient
crossed distance of the objects. This distance was subtracted to the sum of the real crossed distance of the
objects during the session and then used as the divisor to get an inefficient factor.
Directive Interventions. This type of oral interventions were those used by the participants to indicate,
suggest or ask the other participant to move or not certain pieces, or to do something specific related to the
task, for example, “Let us start with the base of the figure”. Two independent observers registered the
directive interactions; the reliability of this analysis was calculated by dividing the number of agreements
between the number of observations, higher than 80% of agreements were observed.
Data about the time it took to solve the task, each participant crossed distance with an object, and the
number of times each participant moved a piece, is presented.
Results
Figure 4 shows the inefficient rates for both groups in each session by using: 1) the crossed distance of the
objects that formed the final figure, and 2) all the moved objects. In this figure it can be observed that, in

Group 1, the dyads 1 and 2 were those that presented the biggest inefficient rates. Dyad 1 was the most
inefficient in two sessions with oral communication (sessions 1 and 3) and in the first with written
communication (session 4). Dyad 2 was more inefficient in sessions 5 and 6, where participants were
allowed to communicate in written form. Dyads 3 and 4 were more inefficient in some of the sessions with
oral communication compared to those with written communication.
Figure 4. Inefficient rate for each session of the two groups. This figure indicates the inefficient rate
calculated based on the best-crossed distance of the figures as unit.
In Group 2, Dyad 7 was the most inefficient. While the other three dyads in the group showed inefficient
rates lower than 14 units per session with both, oral and written communication, Dyad 7 showed 18 and 23
more unnecessary movements in one of the sessions (Session 1 with written communication) and inefficient
rates of 18 and 20 unites in Session 5 with oral communication.
Figure 5 shows the time, in minutes and seconds, that each session took for the participants to complete the
task. In Group 1, the dyads 1 and 2 took longer in solving the task during some sessions.
In Group 2, Dyad 7 was the one that took the longest time to solve the task. While the other dyads in this
Group completed the task in less than 7 minutes, Dyad 7 lasted almost 30 minutes in Session 1, and in the
rest of them they took between 12 to 20 minutes to solve the task.

In general, most of the dyads presented more interventions when the communication was oral, compared
with the written communication sessions. Some exceptions can be seen in the first session with written
communication in Dyad 1, in this session the communication of one of the participants (P2) was highest
than in the sessions with oral communication. In Dyads 4, 5 and 6, the number of interventions was similar
in both communication modes.
In four dyads (3, 4, 5 and 7) one of the participants showed a higher number of directive interventions in
most of the sessions (participants 5, 7, 10 and 13 respectively), with no distinction in the allowed type of
communication or the experimental order that they were exposed. In Dyad 6, there were no directive
interventions by any of the participants in the written communication sessions; however, the participant 11
did the highest number of directive interventions in the three sessions with oral communication compared
to his/her partner.
In the remaining dyads (1, 2, 6 and 8), both members did the highest number of directive interactions in
alternated sessions. For example, in Dyads 1 and 2, the participants 2 and 3 did the highest number of
directive interventions in just one of the sessions (O2). When they were exposed to written communication,
they showed more directive interventions than their dyad partner in the three sessions.
Finally in Dyad 8, the participant 15 had a higher number of directive interventions than his/her partner in
the oral communication condition, while the participant 16 did the same in the written communication
condition.
In Figure 7 is shown the crossed distance of the moved objects that each of the participants did for both
groups. In a general way it can be observed that in all dyads, one of the participants (the participants 1, 3, 5
and 7 in Group 1; and the participants 10, 11 and 13 in Group 2) crossed a higher distance with the moved
objects than his partner in most of the sessions. Although, in Dyad 8 of the Group 2, the participant 15
crossed the highest distance with objects in half of the sessions, and in the other half the participant 16 did
it.

Figure 8 shows the number of moved objects by each participant in each session. As can be observed, in all
dyad one of the participants (1, 2, 3 and 8 of the Group 1; and 10, 11, 13 and 15 of the Group 2) moved
more objects than his/her dyad partner in most of the sessions.

Discussion
The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate, in forced cooperative contingencies, the effect
produced by oral and written communication established between the participants, on the performance of a
cooperative task. Additionally, the effects of both types of communication on the emergency of
verbalizations that directed and facilitated the task were analyzed.
As mentioned, the effect of verbal interaction has been broadly studied in cooperative-non cooperative
choice situations, finding a preference to cooperate when the participants verbally interact compared with
conditions in which the verbal communication is restricted (e.g. Bicchieri & Lev-On, 2007; Cohen et al.
2010; Hake & Schmid, 1981; Marwell & Schmitt, 1975; Meleady et al., 2013). In this type of situations, it
had been evaluated the effects of different forms of communication allowed between participants (Bicchieri
& Lev-On 2007). It also had been found that when participants are exposed to non-choice situations (like in
forced cooperation situations), what is affected by the presence or absence of verbal interaction is the
efficient rates for the resolution of the task (e.g. Pulido, 2012; Pulido, Rangel & Ortiz, 2013; Rangel &
Peña in review). However, in forced cooperative task, the effect of different modes of communications had
been not evaluated as in this study.
About the efficiency in solving a cooperative task, in this study, it was found that from a general point of
view, the participants had similar executions when the communication was oral than when it was in written
text. In one sense, this data supports the findings in the results of Pulido et al. (2013) and Rangel & Peña (in
review), in which higher efficient rates were reported when communication was allowed. In the present
study, in both experimental conditions, the participants had the opportunity to communicate with each
other, thus the efficient rates were equally affected. In such a way that this result can be considered as

evidence for the communication effect, which has been reported in several experimental preparations
previously cited in this paper.
On the other hand, the similar execution that was founded between participants exposed to the different
experimental conditions, contrasts with the results that could have been expected due to the different modes
of communication allowed, i.e. different effects on the task performance, based on the review reported by
Bicchieri and Lev-On (2007), but it is worth to consider two aspects related with the experimental
conditions presented in this study:
First, in any of the two types of communication, the participants interacted face-to-face, that is, while in the
oral communication conditions the participants used microphones and earphones, and in the written
communication was through a chat, in any case the participants were allowed to see each other while they
interacted (they only could see his/her avatar in the computer screen). This could suggest that even when
the communication types were morphologically different, e.g. oral and written, they might not be
functionally different given that it was found no difference regarding the efficiency to solve the
experimental task.
Second, as a result of the aforementioned, it seem probable to find different results if in the oral
communication condition, the participants solve the task face-to-face, keeping impersonal the written
communication condition, given that as Bicchieri and Lev-On (2007) mentioned, it has been reported that
in situations in which face-to-face interaction is required, the participants’ agreements are supported.
In regard to the emergency of directive interventions in the situation, the results do not seem to support
what Bicchieri and Lev-On (2007) suggested with respect to impersonal situations, where the emergency of
a participant that try to direct the task solution becomes complicated. In this study it could be observed that
in 7 of the 8 dyads, there was a participant that showed more directive interventions than his/her partner in
most of the sessions (except in Dyad 8, in which the participants alternated sessions in which they did
comments for directing his/her partner with no regard of the communication modality).
In the same way, it can be observed that most of the participants that did the highest number of directive
interventions were also those who showed the longest crossed distance and the highest number of
movements during the accomplishment of the task, that is to say, they were the more proactive participants.
This kind of data, supports the undoubted relevance of the language in social behavior (Ribes, 2001; Ribes,
Rangel & López, 2008). In this sense, it seems plausible to keep on analyzing, leaving outside the
communication morphology and taking into consideration its functionality, if it could be possible to find
different effects in the efficient rates and in the relation that the members of a dyad establish during the
execution of a cooperative task.
