Two experiments examined the origins of joint visual attention with a training procedure. In Experiment 1, infants aged 6-11 months were tested for a gaze-following (joint visual attention) response under feedback and no feedback conditions. In Experiment 2, infants 8-9 months received feedback for either following the experimenter's gaze (natural group) or looking to the opposite side (unnatural group). Results of the 2 experiments indicate that (a) joint visual attention does not reliably appear prior to 10 months of age, (b) from about 8 months of age, a gaze-following response can be learned, and (c) simple learning is not sufficient as the mechanism through which joint attention cues acquire their signal value.
两项实验通过一种训练程序研究了共同视觉注意的起源。在实验1中，对6至11个月大的婴儿在有反馈和无反馈条件下进行了追随注视（共同视觉注意）反应测试。在实验2中，8至9个月大的婴儿在追随实验者注视（自然组）或看向相反方向（非自然组）时接受反馈。这两项实验的结果表明：（a）共同视觉注意在10个月大之前不会可靠出现；（b）从大约8个月大开始，可以学会追随注视反应；（c）简单学习不足以作为共同注意线索获得其信号价值的机制。
