Carpenter, Malinda; Nagell, Katherine; Tomasello, Michael
Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v63 n4 p1-143 1998
Two longitudinal studies examined social-cognitive skill emergence in 9- to 15-month olds, mother-infant interaction regarding joint attentional engagement, and infant's communicative competence. Findings indicated a reliable pattern of social-cognitive skill emergence and that amount of time spent in joint engagement with mothers and mothers' use of language that followed into their infant's focus of attention predicted gestural and linguistic communication.
