Abstract

The "social relevancy" of a video presentation is critical for learning in viewers between 6 months and 3 years of age, possibly because the (simulated) responsiveness and the meaningfulness of the presenters in these demonstrations elicit greater emotional engagement from children. This study aims to explore the impact of social contingency on the emotional engagement of infants and toddlers in video mediated interactions with emotionally meaningful individuals.
