Following Bruner (1983), many longitudinal studies have found positive correlations between the amount of joint attention in which parent–child dyads engage and children’s subsequent vocabulary development (e.g., Tomasello and Farrar 1986; Smith et al. 1988; Carpenter et al. 1998; Markus et al. 2000; Morales et al. 2000). The magnitude of the relationship appears to decrease (Carpenter et al. 1998) or disappear (Morales et al. 2000) over the second year of life, leading some theorists to suggest that experiencing joint attention is particularly important in the earliest stages of vocabulary development (Tomasello 1999). Indeed, Tomasello (1995) has hypothesized that ‘to acquire a new word . . . the child must enter into a joint attentional focus with an adult’ (p. 117, emphasis ours).

An infant's social environment relates to his or her later language development. Children's first words are closely linked to their early language experience. For children with typically developing language skills, there is a close match between maternal speech and their environment: up to 78% of maternal speech is matched to the object the child is focusing on. In children with delayed language development, only 50% of maternal speech is matched to the object the infant is focusing on.Infants are more likely to engage in joint attention when the parent talks about an object that the child is attending to as opposed to an object outside of the infant's attention. This increased level of joint attention aids in encouraging normal language development, including word comprehension and production. When joint attention is present, it plays an important role in word learning, a crucial aspect of language development

Joint attention is an early-developing social-communicative skill in Which tWo people (usually a young child and an adult) use gestures and gaze to share attention With respect to interesting objects or events. This skill plays a critical role in social and language development.
