Social Facilitation of Creative Reflection: AI-agents and Humans

Aug 07, 2026

This study investigates whether AI agents can replicate the social facilitation effects observed in human creative reflection, with a particular focus on how nonverbal interactions influence creative output. Grounded in social facilitation theory and integrating human–computer interaction design with AI agent simulation techniques, the research establishes a controllable collaborative experimental environment to systematically examine how an AI partner’s nonverbal behaviors modulate human performance in creative reflection tasks. The project introduces the first theoretical framework of social facilitation tailored to human–AI co-creativity, empirically demonstrating the critical role of nonverbal interaction in human–AI collaboration. These findings provide both an empirical foundation and conceptual guidance for the future development of intelligent creative systems, informing both theoretical modeling and practical design.

Vertigo Vertigo: Reconstructing a Cinematic Ideal through its Predictive AI Double

Jun 29, 2026

This study investigates the extent to which generative AI internalizes classical cinematic conventions by reconstructing Alfred Hitchcock’s *Vertigo* scene-by-scene using only 2.78% of its keyframes as input to a large video diffusion model, which interpolates between start and end frames. Integrating keyframe anchoring, computational analysis, and media-theoretical critique, the work extends the film’s theme of “artificial ideal reconstruction” to the ontological level of the medium itself, employing AI generation as a probe into the model’s mechanisms of compressing and reproducing cinematic language. Experimental results demonstrate that 73.1% of reconstructed frames were judged as plausible reconstructions, with only 3.6% exhibiting severe distortion, confirming that canonical filmic norms are deeply embedded within the model’s priors.
