As human beings are primates, Volume 2 is devoted to primate origins, evolution, behaviour, and adaptive variety.
The striatum is considered a fundamental component for learning, execution of routine behaviour, and adaptive habit expression (Hikosaka et al., 1999; Jog et al., 1999; Graybiel, 2005; Monchi et al., 2006).
This study evaluates the impact of multisensory therapy on participants' emotional state, level of relaxation, challenging behaviour, stereotypic self-stimulating behaviour (SSB) and adaptive behaviour (AB).
Secondly, the labels we used in describing the coordination behaviours and adaptive coordination strategies appear to have a considerable overlap with the behavioural markers for non-technical skills in surgical teams, which were already explored in previous research [ 23, 25, 49, 50].
Which coordination behaviours and adaptive coordination strategies do surgical teams employ to ensure effective task performance?
Expanding this line of research this study explores the coordination behaviours and adaptive coordination strategies employed by surgical teams and identifies relevant situational characteristics influencing those coordination processes.
The coordination behaviours and adaptive coordination strategies summarised under task management refer to planning, task distribution, prioritisation, delegation, clarification of task, team and process monitoring and assistance.
The coordination behaviours and adaptive strategies that can be summarised under information management refer to procedure and patient related information, situation assessment, team member information and decision making.
Since coordination behaviours and adaptive coordination strategies were not yet examined in the setting of surgical teams an explorative study design was chosen.
Our findings can be summarised in two main groups: a) the coordination behaviours and adaptive coordination strategies and b) situational and contextual drivers including the management of challenging moments and the supporting effect of a positive climate on teamwork.
Focusing on surgical teams, this paper describes coordination behaviours and adaptive coordination strategies triggered by situational changes such as non-routine events [ 20], intraoperative complications and differing level of experience among OR staff.
