Many developmental studies have examined the effects of joint attention. However, it has been difficult to compare effects of initiating joint attention and responding to joint attention in infants. Here, we compared the effects of initiating joint attention and responding joint attention on object information processing, object preference, and facial preferences in infants. Thirty-seven infants (10 to 12 months of age) were shown stimuli in which a female gazed towards or away from an object. Participants were assigned to initiating joint attention condition or responding joint attention condition. Results suggest that initiating joint attention promoted object information processing, whereas responding joint attention did not. Both joint attention conditions affected the facial preference for the person who engaged joint attention. In addition, after initiating joint attention, infants chose objects gazed by other person more often than after responding joint attention. It appears that attentional behaviours that precede the perception of certain stimuli affect infants' cognitive responses to those stimuli.
许多发展研究都考察了共同注意的影响。然而，比较婴儿发起共同注意和回应共同注意的效果一直很困难。在这里，我们比较了发起共同注意和回应共同注意对婴儿物体信息处理、物体偏好和面部偏好的影响。向37名10至12个月大的婴儿展示了一位女性注视或不注视一个物体的刺激。参与者被分配到发起共同注意条件或回应共同注意条件。结果表明，发起共同注意促进了物体信息处理，而回应共同注意则没有。两种共同注意条件都影响了对参与共同注意者的面部偏好。此外，在发起共同注意后，婴儿比在回应共同注意后更频繁地选择被他人注视的物体。似乎在感知某些刺激之前的注意力行为会影响婴儿对这些刺激的认知反应。
