Abstract

Crucial for action coordination of cooperating agents, joint attention concerns the alignment of attention to a target as a consequence of attending to each other's attentional states. We describe a formal model which specifies the conditions and cognitive processes leading to the establishment of joint attention. This model provides a theoretical framework for cooperative interaction with a virtual human and is specified in an extended belief-desire-intention modal logic.
