Who’s on the Computer? What Toddlers Learn from Video Chatting Robyn L. Kondrad, Judy S. DeLoache, Kasey Soska & Rachel Keen Child Development Labs at the University of Virginia ICIS, 2012 Introduction Results Familiarization and Introduction to Video Chatter: 5 minutes Response 100% Wiggle nose Open mouth Wiggle ears Clap hands • Toddlers have difficulty mapping on-screen representations to their real-life referents (Anderson & Pempek, 2005; Troseth & DeLoache, 1998). 80% 5 12 60% Make the duck swim Shake the rattle 0 9 40% 2 20% Remove the keys 12 • Twenty 18- to 24-month-olds • Twenty 25- to 32-month-olds • Half of the children in each group had experience video chatting at home References Anderson, D.R., & Pempek, T.A.

Introduction to “Biggles” and His Toy Preferences: 3 minutes Who played with Biggles? \ Recognition of Biggles Recognition of Toys Response 100% These are my animals. This one is Biggles. Biggles wants to: ride on his green truck, not on his orange truck. nap on his black pillow, not on his white pillow. dance with his cow, not with his frog.

Conclusions • Toddlers, especially under 25 months, had difficulty recognizing someone in real life from previous video chat. • Recognizing objects from video chat was easier for all children, regardless of age.

None Incorrect 8 Current Study • Later, tested for recognition of person and toys face-to-face. We asked: 3 5 Percentage of Children • Video chatting, like face-to-face interactions, involves social contingency and reciprocity–these features promote children’s learning. Recognition of Video Chatter Percentage of Children • Video chatting is widely used in many homes. Grandparents often meet grandchildren for the first time via video chat (Yarosh & Abowd, 2011).
