| Research Abstract |
In this study we investigated whether the infants' growing environments affect their acquisition of pointing gestures by questionnaires directed at the infants' parents and by observation of the interaction between mothers and infants. The results indicated that the infants whose parent put the things infants wanted on the place where the infants could not reach produced pointing more frequently, and the infants who have older siblings produce pointing gestures less frequently. These results suggest that the infants' acquisition of pointing gestures is affected by their growing environment.
