Conditions of Joint Attention: Connecting
<br>In her book, <I>Apprenticeship in Thinking: Cognitive Development in Social Context </I>(1990), Barbara Rogoff spends a fair amount of time going over the concept of joint attention, particularly in the parent-child relationship. A lot of people might refer to this as “connecting” with a child, but I think there’s something about the word “connecting” that makes the process seem magical and beyond the control of an individual. Establishing joint attention, on the other hand, is an effortful process – not in the sense that it is difficult to do, or even that it has to be done consciously, but in the sense that it is a process in which two people choose to engage.
