Infants are born with some preferences to some specific stimulation to extract important information from the environment to the adjustment and the living by priority. This limits environmental stimulation and the experience that infants receives, and provide constant directionality in development. In early infancy, infants' various abilities and the behavior styles of infants are acquired based on this perceptional and behavioral bias. The ability of responding to joint the attention was also considered to develop based on infants' visual perceptional bias. However, the development base of another side of joint attention-initiating joint attention-was not clarified yet. In this thesis, the effect of emotional state on infants' attention was considered as the trigger of infants' initiating join attention.
