社会认知发展理论认为陈述性共同注意具有基础性作用。目前对83名12至50个月大的儿童进行了纵向研究，在多个测量点上对他们进行了一系列社会认知任务的评估，测试了心理理论（错误信念理解）的预测模型。因此，陈述性而非命令性的点生成预测了50个月时的错误信念理解。预测关系在儿童性别和语言能力的影响之外仍然显著，与儿童气质和情绪识别无关，不受镜像自我识别和1级视觉视角采取的中介作用，两者都与共同注意有关。这些发现符合理论预测，并为社会领域的概念连续性提供了实证支持。
Theories of social-cognitive development have attributed a foundational role to declarative joint attention. The present longitudinal study of 83 children, who were assessed on a battery of social-cognitive tasks at multiple measurement points from the age of 12 to 50 months, tested a predictive model of theory of mind (false-belief understanding). Thereby, declarative, but not imperative, point production predicted false-belief understanding at 50 months. Predictive relations, which remained significant beyond the influence of child gender and language abilities, and were unrelated to child temperament and emotion recognition, were not mediated by mirror self-recognition or Level 1 visual perspective taking, which were both related to joint attention. These findings conform to theoretical predictions and provide empirical support for conceptual continuity in the social domain.
