TL;DR: This chapter discusses the development of Joint Attention in Premature Low Birth Weight Infants: Effects of Early Medical Complications and Maternal Attention-Directing Behaviors, and the role of affect and culture in this development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a four-level framework of social understanding that organizes the ways in which social organisms represent the intentional relations of themselves and other agents, assuming that the information available to an organism about its own intentional relations (or first person information) is qualitatively different from the information known to that organism about other agents' intentional relations, or third person information).

TL;DR: Joint visual attention does not reliably appear prior to 10 months of age, a gaze-following response can be learned, and simple learning is not sufficient as the mechanism through which joint attention cues acquire their signal value.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the theoretical assumptions that this "commonsense view" entails and argue against this view of these behaviors by suggesting that the phenomena are entirely compatible with an account which does not attribute to the infant an understanding that others have psychological relations to objects or that self and others are equivalent in their potential for such psychological relations.

TL;DR: Results suggest a specific developmental delay in which children with autism rely on the presence of objects in the visual field to guide action and the relation between this problem and autistic children's difficulties with human communicative signals is discussed.
