Abstract

Joint Attention is a pivotal dimension of human cognition that begins to develop in the first six months. It supports the ability to perceptually or mentally share a common point of reference or perspective with other people. Research over the past thirty years has revealed how and why joint attention is fundamental to human learning, information processing and the development of social-cognitive mentalizing.
