ABSTRACT

On a widely held characterization, triadic joint attention is the capacity to perceptually attend to an object or event together with another subject. In the last four decades, research in developmental psychology has provided increasing evidence of the crucial role that this capacity plays in socio-cognitive development, early language acquisition, and the development of perspective-taking. Yet, there is a striking discrepancy between the general agreement that joint attention is critical in various domains, and the lack of theoretical consensus on how to account for it. This paper pursues three interrelated aims: (i) it examines the contrast between reductive and non-reductive views of (triadic) joint attention, by bringing into focus the notion of recursive mindreading; (ii) it assembles, advances, and discusses a number of arguments against reductive views; (iii) finally, in dialogue with some prominent non-reductive views, it outlines the case for a non-reductive view that gives pride of place to the idea that co-attenders relate to one another as a ‘you’.

摘要

在广泛使用的特征上，三合会联合注意力是指与另一个主题在感知上关注一个对象或事件的能力。在过去的四十年中，发展心理学方面的研究提供了越来越多的证据，表明这种能力在社会认知发展，早期语言习得和观点采择发展中所起的关键作用。然而，在共同关注在各个领域至关重要的普遍共识与缺乏如何解决这一问题的理论共识之间，存在着惊人的差异。本文追求三个相互关联的目标：（i）通过关注递归思维阅读的概念，研究（三联）共同注意的还原性和非还原性观点之间的对比；（ii）集合，推进，并讨论了一些反对还原性观点的论点；（iii）最后，在与一些重要的非归纳性观点进行对话时，它概述了一种非归纳性观点的理由，这种观点使同案主作为“您”彼此联系的观点引以为豪。
