   Abstract : Compared to other children, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are known to engage less in joint attention - the sharing of attention between two individuals toward a common object or event. Joint attention behaviors - for example gaze following, alternating gaze, and pointing - play an important role in early development, as they provide a foundation for learning and social interaction.

4. 2. Visual motor development in full term and preterm infants

   Author : Helena Grönqvist; Claes von Hofsten; Kerstin Rosander; Audrey van der Meer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; infant development; smooth pursuit; eye tracking; reaching; preterm infants; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Smooth tracking and efficient reaching for moving objects require the ability to predict the velocity and trajectory of the object. This skill is important to be able to perceive human action and object motion in the world. This thesis explores early visual motor development in full term and preterm infants. READ MORE

5. 3. World of faces, words and actions : Observations and neural linkages in early life

   Author : Andrea Handl; Gustaf Gredebäck; Claes von Hofsten; Mikael Heimann; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : From the start of their lives, infants and young children are surrounded by a tremendous amount of multimodal social information. One intriguing question in the study of early social cognition is how vital social information is detected and processed and how and when young infants begin to make sense of what they see and hear and learn to understand other people’s behavior.

6. 4. Eyes on social development : Aetiology of infant gaze patterns and links to later socio-communicative abilities and autism

   Abstract : This thesis aims to study how infants actively look at different social figures: parents and strangers. To study infants’ looking behavior in “live” situations, new methods to record looking behavior were tested. Study 1 developed a method to record looking behavior in “live” situations: a head-mounted camera. READ MORE
