ABSTRACT

Joint attention has been a topic of great interest for decades in understanding autism and early communicative-social development. Rivière was aware of this fact and emphasized the importance of understanding how this competence develops, how it is expressed in autism, the consequences of this difficulty and the implications for detection, diagnosis and treatment. This article starts from Rivière’s initial idea of joint attention as a reciprocal assimilation of action and interaction schemes associated with early social development and autism. Subsequently, the article discusses Rivière’s approach in explaining the problems of children with autism as a consequence of a deficit in joint attention, which would lead to difficulties in social cognition. The article continues with the current perspective of this competence in relation to autism and contrasts Rivière’s approach with recent research findings. The article concludes with a reflection on the contribution of this author in the light of current knowledge.

摘要

数十年来，共同关注一直是了解自闭症和早期交往社会发展的重要话题。里维埃（Rivière）意识到了这一事实，并强调了理解这种能力如何发展，在孤独症中如何表达，这种困难的后果以及对检测，诊断和治疗的意义的重要性。本文从Rivière最初的共同关注概念开始，即与早期社会发展和自闭症相关的行动和互动计划的相互吸收。随后，本文讨论了里维埃（Rivière）解释自闭症儿童由于共同注意力不足而导致的社会认知困难的方法。本文将继续以与自闭症相关的能力这一当前观点为基础，并将Rivière的方法与最近的研究结果进行对比。本文根据当前的知识对作者的贡献进行了反思。
