This research examines the social communication development of infants (8 to 18-month-olds; N=444) by longitudinal questionnaires for infants' caregivers from the viewpoint of “understanding others' attention” and “orienting others' attention”. Although “understanding others' attention” and “orienting others' attention” have the different origins, these results suggest that “intentional showing and giving” which are directly communicative behaviors through objects links “understanding others' attention (e.g. gaze following)” to “orienting others attention (e.g. pointing)”. It is thought that showing and giving have both aspects of comprehension and orientation of others' attention, and that these interactions are important to understanding of other persons as intentional and emotional agents. Furthermore it is also suggested that interactions of “intentional showing and giving” are useful for children who have difficulty for spontaneous interactions, and so it is necessary to prove the relations through the studies with observations or experiments.
