The N170 event-related potential differentiates congruent and incongruent gaze responses in gaze leading [PDF]
To facilitate social interactions, humans need to process the responses that other people make to their actions, including eye movements that could establish joint attention.

Joint engagement and early language abilities in young children with Down syndrome
IntroductionEarly social strengths likely serve as a foundation for language acquisition for young children with Down syndrome (DS). One way to characterize early social skills is to examine a child’s engagement with a caregiver around an object of ...

The use of joint attention in the naturalistic setting in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder [PDF]
This study investigates the deficits in the quantity and quality of joint attention in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To obtain a holistic measure of joint attention, the following four aspects were considered: a) the quantity of ...

Pragmatically Framed Cross-Situational Noun Learning Using Computational Reinforcement Models
Cross-situational learning and social pragmatic theories are prominent mechanisms for learning word meanings (i.e., word-object pairs). In this paper, the role of reinforcement is investigated for early word-learning by an artificial agent.

Joint attention and language evolution [PDF]
This study investigates how more advanced joint attentional mechanisms, rather than only shared attention between two agents and an object, can be implemented and how they influence the results of language games played by these agents. We present computer simulations with language games showing that adding constructs that mimic the three stages of ...
