Abstract
This study examined the age of onset of the capacity to align with direction of gaze, and the relations between individual differences in this capacity and language acquisition. Infants demonstrated the capacity to match mother's direction of gaze, and individual differences in this capacity were related to vocabulary development.

Joint visual attention does not reliably appear prior to 10 months of age, a gaze-following response can be learned, and simple learning is not sufficient as the mechanism through which joint attention cues acquire their signal value.
