What is a state space grid?

State space grids are a flexible analytical tool, which can be useful in a wide array of research circumstances. This book will highlight many of these possibilities but as many or more of these applications of the method are yet on the horizon. In general, though, for any user there are three potential uses of state space grids.

Can state space grid analysis accommodate other dimensions beyond 2?

The shift from two to three dimensions is tricky for many scientific endeavors (Diacu 1992), but with a few modifications state space grid analysis can accommodate other dimensions beyond two.

Is state space grid analysis a great contribution to science?

If that is all state space grid analysis achieves, it would be a great contribution to science. Second, by extension, the DS approach in general and the exploratory data analyses facilitated by state space grids in particular are a rich source of hypotheses about behavioral processes.

Is state space grid analysis a metatheoretical framework?

As it is a metatheoretical framework (Witherington 2007) , DS techniques such as state space grid analysis can be incorporated into existing theoretical or statistical models that are domain specific (e.g., Granic and Patterson 2006) .

Are state space grids used in a binary categorization of gaze?

Although state space grids were used for analyses, these were not reported in the final journal article. This was a 2 × 2 grid of a binary categorization of gaze: looking directly at the other person’s face or away from their face (see Fig. 2.12).

How are state space grids used in attractor analysis?

State space grids from Lewis et al. (1999) The Lewis et al. (1999) study introduced attractor analysis using state space grids through a two-step process. First attractors were identified through a winnowing process based on the proportional duration in each cell .
