Human infants do not seem to be born with concepts of self or joint
attention. One basic goal of Agency and Joint Attention is to
unravel how these abilities originate. One approach that has
received a lot of recent attention is social. Some argue that by
virtue of an infant's intense eye gaze with her mother, she is
able, by the age of four months, to establish a relationship with
her mother that differentiates between "me" and "you." At about
twelve months, the infant acquires the non-verbal ability to share
attention with her mother or other caregivers. Although the
concepts of self and joint attention are nonverbal and uniquely
human, the question remains, how do we establish metacognitive
control of these abilities? A tangential question is whether
nonhuman animals develop abilities that are analogous to self and
joint attention. Much of this volume is devoted to the development
of metacognition of self and joint attention in experiments on the
origin of consciousness, knowing oneself, social referencing, joint
action, the neurological basis of joint attention, the role of
joint action, mirror neurons, phenomenology, and cues for agency.
