Publication Type: Individual Poster Abstract: Background and Aims: Early infant’ joint attention with his/her caregiver appears to be an very important factor in later language development, social development, and cognitive development(Carpenter et al., 1998; Morales et al., 2000; Mundy & Gomes, 1998; Tomasello & Farra, 1986). Studies related joint attention found that positive correlations between time in joint attention at 15 months of age and vocabulary size at 21 months of age. Most studies explored infants younger than 21 months. This study investigated the relationship between mother-infant’s joint attention and later language development of infants older than 20 months of age. Methods: This study included 12 infants and their mothers. At about 20(time 1) and 25months of age(time 2) during interaction with their mothers, each child's spontaneous natural speech was videotaped for about 30 minutes in which the same toys were provided at the nursery school. We identified Episodes of Joint Attention(EJA), the total number of infants’ utterances, percent of infants’ utterance within EJA, Coordinated Joint(CJ), and infants’ MLU(Mean Length of Utterance). EJA(Tomasello & Farrar, 1986) was mother-child dyads’ episodes of 3 seconds or more, initiated by either member of the dyad, in which both members were simultaneously focused on the same object. CJ means the infant is actively involved with and coordinated his/her attention to both mother and the object involved with EJA Key results: There is an significant difference between percent infant’s utterance within EJA at time 1 and at time 2(at time 1 mean=.68, at time 2 mean=.78, t=-2.27, p<.05). It means during periods of EJA children talked more than outside joint attention. Frequency of CJ at time 1 was moderately associated with MLU at time 2(r=.53, p>.05), and frequency at time 2 was positively coordinated with MLU of EJA at time 2(r=.57, p<.05). Conclusions: This results show that there is no relationship between utterance percent in EJA and MLU, however there is positive relationship between frequency of coordinated joint and MLU. This result implicates that at 25 months of age, coordinated joint is important to children’s language development.
