Experience Grounds Language (2020, background): “mous as interacting with a cashier at a store, notions of social cognition (Fiske and Taylor, 1991; Carpenter et al., 1998) are present in the style of utterances and in the social script of the exchange.”
Individual differences and the development of joint attention in infancy. (2007, methodology): “…was chosen for this study because this is a formative period of infant joint attention development during which important agerelated shifts in social cognition are thought to be a primary influence on joint attention development (Brooks & Meltzoff, 2005; Carpenter et al., 1998; Tomasello, 1995).”
Language as a Tool for Interacting Minds (2010, unknown): “While the practice of gaze-following and pointing has been found to subserve joint attention in pre-linguistic infant-adult interactions (Carpenter et al., 1998), in later stages of development verbal language lends itself as another tool for directing and sharing attention (Tomasello, 1999; Talmy, ”
Theory-of-Mind Development: Retrospect and Prospect (2004, background): “Carpenter, Nagell, and Tomasello (1998) have recently documented a three-step developmental sequence in which infants progress from sharing to following to directing others’ attention and behavior.”
Telling Stories and Making Books: Evidence for an Intervention to Help Parents in Migrant Head Start Families Support Their Children's Language and Literacy (2010, methodology): “Expand includes building on what the child says (Neuman & Gallagher, 1994; Neuman & Roskos, 1993; Tamis-LeMonda et al., 2001), using new words (Carpenter et al., 1998; Dunham & Dunham, 1995; Newland et al., 1998; Pine et al., 1997), and drawing on the child’s previous experiences (Baker-Ward,…”
The Development of Pointing: From Personal Directedness to Interpersonal Direction (2010, background): “There is some empirical support for this prediction that aspects of joint attention develop in a closely linked manner [Carpenter et al., 1998].”
Indeterminacy in language acquisition: the role of child directed speech and joint attention (2004, background): “In this same line of research it has been demonstrated that mother –infant dyads who spent more time in JA engagement had infants who used more gestures and understood more language in the following months (Carpenter et al., 1998).”
Social and Discourse Contributions to the Determination of Reference in Cross-Situational Word Learning (2013, background): “In addition, a wide variety of work has attempted to characterize the nature of caregiver-child interactions and their links to language development (Bruner, 1975; M. Carpenter et al., 1998; Stern, 2002).”
First Steps toward a Usage-Based Theory of Language Acquisition (2001, background): “…of these nonlinguistic triadic behaviors (involving you, me, and it) and is highly correlated with themÐin the sense that children with earlier emerging skills of nonlinguistic joint attention begin to acquire linguistic skills at an earlier age as well (Carpenter, Nagell, and Tomasello 1998).”
