• Joint attention: – the shared focus of two individuals on an object
![Page 3: One year -old infants follow others' voice direction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cf379d8b42a690f8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

– foundational for children’s earliest intersubjective social interactions
• intentional communication
• linguistic communication

• Follow the direction of others’ gaze to external targets:– human infants – many nonhuman primates.

• No research investigating infants’ (or adults’) ability to follow the direction of someone’s voice to an external entity.

• This study investigating:– ability of 1-year-old infants to follow the direction
of an adult’s voice to an external target – when they could not see the adult

Study 1
• Investigated whether infants could determine where an unseen adult was looking just by hearing her voice.

Materials and design
• Materials: – a large wooden barrier (160 cm × 0.9 cm × 122 cm)
– four pairs of matching cardboard boxes (each 34 cm × 24 cm × 17 cm)
![Page 10: One year -old infants follow others' voice direction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cf379d8b42a690f8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Materials and design
• Design: – 2 right, 2 left

Procedure
an experimenter positioned herself behind a tall barrier
opened two boxes on the floor at either side of it(one of the boxes contained a toy)
behind the barrier
verbally expressed excitement while looking (with her head turned) toward one of the two boxes
whether infants subsequently went to that box to get the toy

Results and discussion
• 1st trial:– 81%, above chance (sign test, p < .001, g = .32)
• Four trial:– still significantly better than chance – mean number of correct trials = 2.56, SD = 0.62;
Wilcoxon signed-rank exact test: T+ = 136, N = 161, p < .001; r = .68

Results and discussion
• 16-month-olds:– follow another person’s voice direction – can use it to infer what that person is attending to
(even if he or she cannot be seen)
• Another explanation:– mouth was not at the center of the barrier– “come here”

Study 2
• Study 2 pitted the source-of-sound explanation against the voice-direction explanation.

Method
• Participants:
– excluded• fussy (12-month-olds: n = 3, 16-month-olds: n = 2)
• distracted by their parent during the test (12-month-olds: n = 1; 16-month-olds: n = 2)
• did not move (12-month-olds: n = 4; 16-month-olds: n = 7)
Age N Mean Range
12 months 32 12:6 months 12:0 ~ 12:29
16 months 32 16:0 months 15:15 ~ 16:15

Procedure
• Same as study 1 except: – the experimenter positioned herself on the side
opposite the correct box
![Page 17: One year -old infants follow others' voice direction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cf379d8b42a690f8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• 78%, above chance, (sign test, p < .01, g = .28)
– Four trial:• better than chance
• mean number of correct trials = 2.53, SD = 0.70; Wilcoxon signed-rank exact test: T + = 120, N = 15, p < .001; r = .60

Results and discussion

• Subjects : 16 chimpanzees(7 m, 9 f)
![Page 21: One year -old infants follow others' voice direction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cf379d8b42a690f8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

• 1st trial: – 7/16 at chance, (sign test, p = .80)
• 12 trials: – at chance– mean number of correct trials = 6.19, SD = 1.64;
Wilcoxon signed-rank exact test: T+ = 38, N = 11, p = .65; r = .11

General discussion
• When the experimenter was out of sight behind the barrier and talked excitedly about the toy.
![Page 24: One year -old infants follow others' voice direction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cf379d8b42a690f8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
General discussion
• They were able to determine which box the toy was in, even on their very first trial.
![Page 25: One year -old infants follow others' voice direction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cf379d8b42a690f8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
General discussion
• Study 2 : – not just approaching the source of the sound and
chancing upon the toy– rather, they were following the experimenter’s
voice direction to the toy
• 12-month-olds:– less robust but it too was above chance level
overall
![Page 26: One year -old infants follow others' voice direction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cf379d8b42a690f8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
General discussion
• 1-year-old infants:– can discern the directionality of a voice without
seeing the speaker– appear to be able to use voice direction to infer the
speaker’s focus of (visual) attention
