Uzundag, Berna A.2025-06-152025-06-1520250163-63831879-0453https://doi.org/10.1016/j.infbeh.2025.102072https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12469/7352Sustained attention in infancy is a known predictor of executive functions, self-regulation, and language. This study investigated the relationship between 9-to 16-month-old infants' sustained attention and joint attention in mother-infant dyads. Data were collected from 98 infants (M(SD) = 11.8(1.3) months) and their mothers. Results showed that joint attention during mother-infant play significantly predicted sustained attention during solo play, after accounting for infant age and socioeconomic status. These cross-sectional findings suggest that joint attention may play a role in supporting sustained attention, though the directionality of this relationship warrants further longitudinal investigation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSustained AttentionJoint AttentionArticle80WOS:00149933790000110.1016/j.infbeh.2025.1020722-s2.0-105005583411Q3Q240411944
