Joint attention refers to the ability to share attention with another person towards the same object, event, or topic. Research has shown that joint attention experiences, particularly during infancy, can promote language development, including the acquisition of first words. Therefore, Baby Emily is likely to say her first word earlier as a result of engaging in joint attention with her mother. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because joint attention is not associated with attention disorders, difficulty establishing trusting relationships, or developing narrow vocabulary.
