We argue that joint attention is much more than gaze following or simultaneous looking because it implies a shared intentional relation to the world. The current state-of-the-art in robotic and computational models of the different prerequisites of joint attention is discussed in relation with a developmental timeline drawn from results in child studies. date: 2004 date_type: published volume: 117 publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies pagerange: 67-74 refereed: TRUE citation: Kaplan, Frederic and Hafner, Verena (2004) The Challenges of Joint Attention.
