Video Comprehensibility and Attention in Very Young Children
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
Earlier research established that preschool children pay less attention to television that is sequentially or linguistically incomprehensible. This study determines the youngest age for which this effect can be found. One-hundred and three 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month-olds’ looking and heart rate were recorded while they watched Teletubbies, a television program designed for very young children. Comprehensibility was manipulated by either randomly ordering shots or reversing dialogue to become backward speech. Infants watched one normal segment and one distorted version of the same segment. Only 24-month-olds, and to some extent 18-month-olds, distinguished between normal and distorted video by looking for longer durations towards the normal stimuli. The results suggest that it may not be until the middle of the second year that children demonstrate the earliest beginnings of comprehension of video as it is currently produced.
