In this talk, Kirkorian will summarize what we know about early learning and cognitive development as it relates to young children’s digital media use. The talk will address questions such as: How do infants and young children respond to and learn from on-screen versus real-life experiences? What digital design features support versus hinder early learning and development, and how might this research inform policy recommendations focused on child-centered design? How does co-viewing/media engagement affect learning from screens? What do we know--and what have we yet to discover--about potential long-term impacts of screen use on child development?
