N2 - This paper describes our preliminary research on "attention-sheiring" in infants' language acquisition. Attention-sharing is the activity of paying one's attention to someone else's attentional target. This enables one to observe others' sensory-input (what they axe perceiving from the target) and motor-output (what they are doing in response to the tau-get). Being inspired by lack of attention-sharing in autistic children, we assumed that observation of others' behavior by attention-shairing plays aa indispensable role in symbol acquisition. As a test-bed for attention-shsu-ing, we are developing a robot that can follow people's attentional targets by means of monitoring their geize-direction.
