这项研究考察了婴儿在第一年和第二年对他人的共同注意请求(例如，凝视转移、指向和发声)做出反应的能力发展的个体差异。本研究的主要目的是确定第一年和第二年对联合注意(RJA)的反应是否与随后的词汇习得有关，以及前两年的特定发展阶段是否是评估这项技能的个体差异的最佳选择。这项研究还旨在确定RJA是否提供了关于语言发展的独特预测性信息，而不是PALENT关于早期词汇习得的报告所提供的信息。研究结果表明，6、8、10、12、18个月的RJA与词汇发展的个体差异呈正相关。此外，6至18个月的RJA综合测量和家长报告语言发展测量都对词汇习得的预测做出了独特的贡献。最后，在21个月和24个月时测量的RJA的个体差异与语言发展无关。
This study examined individual differences in the development of the: capacity of infants to respond to the joint attention bids of others (e.g., gaze shift, pointing, and vocalizing) across the first and second year. The primary aim of the study was to determine if responding to joint attention (RJA) in the first and second year was related to subsequent vocabulary acquisition and whether a specific period of development during the first 2 years was optimal for the assessment of individual differences in this skill. The study was also designed to determine if RJA provided unique predictive information about language development over and above that provided by pal ent reports of early vocabulary acquisition. Findings indicated that RJA at 6, 8, 10, 12, and 18 months was positively related to individual differences in vocabulary development. Furthermore, both a 6- to 18-month aggregate measure of RJA and a parent report measure of language development made unique contributions to the predictions of vocabulary acquisition. Finally, individual differences in RJA measured at 21 and 24 months were not related to language development.
