Abstract

Pointing is seen as the cornerstone of human communication, and many researches have provided evidences for the fact 
 that human infant start to point before they can speak. However, these studies have often focused on the motivation and function 
 behind their pointing behaviors. This study investigated children pointing gesture development by administering a referential communication task. Our findings showed that children from five to six do much better than other children as they can successfully use 
 manual pointing to complete the task on the basis of understanding the task requirements.
