背景/研究背景：自动定向到其他人正在看的位置的倾向是与他人建立联合注意的主要方式。而联合注意主要是调查与年轻人，本研究探讨年龄相关的差异的幅度和时间过程中的联合attention.Methods：43个社区居住的老年人和43个年轻人进行了视觉空间任务。的程序密切遵循那些凝视线索任务通常用于调查联合attention.Results：研究结果显示，凝视线索效应发生在年轻人和老年人，具有相同的平均幅度，但具有不同的时间进程。影响高峰后，在老年aduls.Conclusion：在联合attention的ESTA相关的差异可能与一个更普遍的认知放缓，而不是穷人的基本社交技能。目前的研究增加了对老年学研究社会关注的兴趣。
Background/Study Context: The automatic propensity to orient to the location where other people are looking is the main way of establishing joint attention with others. Whereas joint attention has been mostly investigated with young adults, the present study examines age-related differences in the magnitude and time course of joint attention.Methods: Forty-three community-dwelling seniors and 43 younger adults performed a visuospatial task. The procedures closely follow those of gaze-cueing tasks commonly used to investigate joint attention.Results: The findings revealed that a gaze-cueing effect occurs for both younger and older adults, with an equivalent average magnitude but with different time courses. The effect peaks later in older adults.Conclusion: Age-related differences in joint attention could be linked to a more general cognitive slowing rather than to poorer basic social skills. The present study adds to the growing interest in gerontological research regarding social attention.
