"Responsive Interactions Key to Toddlers' Ability to Learn Language"
According to a study conducted by ‍researchers at the  of Washington, T‍emple  , and the __University__ of Delaware, a child's ability to learn language is directly related to his/her direct interactions with humans. The experiment began by teaching three new verbs to three different groups of two-year old children. The first group was assigned to be trained by a live person, the second was assigned to be trained through a __live__ video chat session (such as Skype), and the third group was assigned to be trained through a prerecorded video of a person. They proved that the only children who learned the new verbs were the ones who trained with a live person or through live video chat- both sessions where live interaction was taking place with the child. The children trained with the prerecorded video did not learn the verbs due to the fact that they did not receive any responsive interaction with the teacher. "The study highlights the importance of responsive interactions for language learning ," suggests Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor of psychology at Temple . "Interactions allow adults and toddlers to respond to each other in a back-and-forth __fashion__ -- such as live instruction and the video chats. These types of interactions seem to be central for learning words." According to th‍e , //Li‍fespan Development,// this taps into a child's "cognitive development" which has to do with the way a child develops language ( Boyd, Bee). Piaget, the founder of this  of development, believed that the majority of a child's language development around the age of two is directly related to physical and responsive interactions with their parents. ‍This belief was, in fact, proven‍ by the researchers of this study.
