This article provides a review of the increasingly detailed imaging literature on the
neurodevelopment of joint attention. Many findings from this literature support and inform the …

When two people look at the same object in the environment and are aware of each other's
attentional state, they find themselves in a shared-attention episode. This can occur through …

Gaze acts from an early age as a cue to orient attention and, thereafter, to infer our social

From birth onward, social interaction is central to our everyday lives. Our ability to seek out
social partners, flexibly navigate and learn from social interactions, and develop social …

Social interactions are, by their nature, dynamic and reciprocal− your behaviour affects my
behaviour, which affects your behaviour in return. However, until recently, the field of social …

It has been proposed that attention triggered by eye-gaze may represent a unique
attentional process, different from that triggered by non-social stimuli such as arrows. To …

A precursor of adult social functioning is joint attention (JA), which is the capacity to share
attention on an object with another person. JA precedes the development of the capacity to …

The current study measured adults' P350 and N170 ERPs while they interacted with a
character in a virtual reality paradigm. Some participants believed the character was …

High perceptual load is thought to impair the early processing of task-irrelevant distractors.
In contrast, for emotional faces, previous studies have shown that early event-related …
