        abstract = {This study argues how a human infant acquires
the ability of joint attention through
interactions with its caregiver from the viewpoint
of a constructive approach. This paper
presents a constructive model by which a
robot acquires a sensorimotor coordination for
joint attention based on visual attention and
learning with self-evaluation. Since visual attention
does not always correspond to joint attention,
the robot may have incorrect learning
situations for joint attention as well as correct
ones. However, the robot is expected to statistically
lose the data of the incorrect ones
as outliers through the learning, and consequently
acquires the appropriate sensorimotor
coordination for joint attention even if the
environment is not controlled nor the caregiver
provides any task evaluation. The experimental
results suggest that the proposed
model could explain the developmental mechanism
of the infant?s joint attention because
the learning process of the robot?s joint attention
can be regarded as equivalent to the
developmental process of the infant?s one.}
