Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? Joint attention involves both members of a dyad gazing with the same intent, and its mutuality is not reducible to either individual's mental representations. → Gerry Stahl 2014

Gerry Stahl, Nancy Law, Ulrike Cress & Sten Ludvigsen. (2014). Analyzing roles of individuals in small-group collaboration processes. International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 9, 365–370. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-014-9204-9
q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
This is the editorial's theoretical argument, drawing on Tomasello's comparative research and Vygotsky's analysis of the pointing gesture, about the Schneider and Pea gaze study: joint attention is "a group phenomenon" involving gazing with the same intent and mutual knowledge of gazing together.
"The mutuality of intersubjective intentionality is not reducible to either individual 's mental representations, but consists in a shared meaning making."
