Joint Attention Types in Infants

What is the primary difference between RJA and IJA?

IJA relies more on a passive understanding of the world (correct)
RJA is only present in autistic children
IJA is limited to visual interactions only
RJA requires more connection between frontal and posterior attention systems

What is necessary for infants to initiate joint attention?

A passive understanding of the world
A complete understanding of their own intentions and desires (correct)
An ability to see
A connection between frontal and posterior attention systems

What can autistic children not do due to poor connections?

Form connections between frontal and posterior attention systems (correct)
Process language information
Understand their own intentions and desires
Initiate joint attention
