Synchronous communication technologies for language learning: Promise and challenges in research and pedagogy [PDF]
We propose a definition of synchronous communication based on joint attention, noting that in certain mediated communication settings joint attention is a matter of perception rather than determinable fact.

The challenges of joint attention [PDF]
This article discusses the concept of joint attention and the different skills underlying its development. Research in developmental psychology clearly states that the development of skills to understand, manipulate and coordinate attentional behavior plays a pivotal role for imitation, social cognition and the development of language.

Social communication between virtual characters and children with autism [PDF]
Children with ASD have difficulty with social communication, particularly joint attention. Interaction in a virtual environment (VE) may be a means for both understanding these difficulties and addressing them.

Individual and relational contributions to parallel and joint attention in infancy [PDF]
Objective: This study examined the contributions of maternal bids for joint attention, relationship quality, and infant characteristics, to individual differences in infants’ parallel and joint attention. Method: Fifty-two 10-month-olds and their mothers

Humans have an irresistible inclination to coordinate actions with others, leading to species-unique forms of cooperation. According to the highly influential Shared Intentionality Theory (SITh), human cooperation is made possible by shared ...

Dc and ac behaviour of a normal joint in a superconducting cable [PDF]
The application of joints which can be disassembled is studied within the framework of the development of high current (25 kA), high power (0.5 kW) cryogenic current supplies (flux pumps).1,2 The behaviour of a scale model with currents up to 5 kA will ...

The Role of Saliency in Learning First Words
In word learning, one key accomplishment is the reference, that is, the linking of a word to its referent. According to classical theories, the term reference captures a mental event: A person uses a word to mentally recall a concept of an entity (an ...

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 ...

CEDR: Contextualized Embeddings for Document Ranking [PDF]
Although considerable attention has been given to neural ranking architectures recently, far less attention has been paid to the term representations that are used as input to these models.
