Baldwin et al (1996) suggest that joint attention is needed in addition to pairing sound with object for learning the meaning of a word. Joint attention involves the child and caregiver sharing attention on the same object or event, and is believed to play a critical role in early word learning. Repetition, emphasis, and pointing may also play a role in language acquisition, but joint attention is considered a necessary component.
