Abstract
Many aspects of social life are temporally organised, and various rhythms and cycles are known to be mutually entrained in individual behaviour (e.g., Kelly, 1988). The concept of entrainment originated in the study of circadian and other biological rhythms, where it refers to the capturing of an endogenous rhythm by an external pacing cycle or event, so that the endogenous rhythm is modified towards the phase and periodicity of the entraining process. The present paper extends the concept of entrainment to group-level processes of cognition and social interaction in engineering design teams.
