Tomasello，Carpenter和Lizkowski(2007)对婴儿指点文献进行了全面的回顾。他们得出的结论是，婴儿从一岁开始就表现出交流意图。在这篇评论中，我们注意到，对于婴儿来说，要理解交际意图，他们必须有一个自我和他人是意向动因的概念。有证据表明，这在18-24个月龄之前是不可能的。对于婴儿在没有理解交际意图的情况下最初如何成功地指出任务，我们考虑了一种更简洁的解释。
Tomasello, Carpenter, and Liszkowski (2007) present a comprehensive review of the infant pointing literature. They conclude that infant pointing demonstrates communicative intent from its onset, at about 1 year of age. In this commentary, it is noted that for infants to understand communicative intent, they must have a concept of self and others as intentional agents. Evidence is reviewed to argue that this is not possible until 18-24 months of age. A leaner explanation of how infants might initially succeed in pointing tasks without understanding communicative intent is considered.
