Sophia only recently exhibited the skill of "Joint Attention", defined as:
Joint attention occurs when two people share interest in an object or event and there is understanding between the two people that they are both interested in the same object or event. Joint attention should emerge around 9 months of age and be very well-established by 18 months of age. Joint attention provides a critical foundation for social, cognitive, and language development. It is something that is very hard for almost all children with autism to do.
