In this article, the authors test the hypothesis that cycles of speaking and turn taking during group design discussions are entrained to rhythmic shifts in group-level modes of reasoning. Video recordings of six teams of engineering students performing realistic design tasks were coded for instances of figural and conceptual reasoning, rates of turn taking, and group participation. Exploratory spectral analysis pointed to rhythmic oscillations every 5 to 10 minutes between periods of predominantly figural or conceptual discussion, whereas structural equations modeling indicated a lead-lag relationship between peaks in figural reasoning and lowered levels of conceptual reasoning, group participation, and turn taking. The authors interpret these results as evidence for cognitive entrainment in group discussion and illustrate the potential of frequency and pooled time series techniques for studying the temporal structure of group interaction.
