Question

Discuss how you think Kuhl's findings regarding the benefits of babies being exposed to languages in-person versus over the television or audio should impact how we often rely on various forms of technology to teach children today?

Answer 1

Answer: Instead of entertainment sources the child learns more language skills through face to face interactions.

Explanation:

The parents or caregivers can support the child in developing language by simply talking to them. The babies can also listen to radio, television, colored screen phones running videos. These sources can entertain toddlers but language skills develop when parents or caregivers talk to them. This helps in retention of words and phrases in the memory more than any other way of learning. Kulh states that young children cannot learn language from television but require face-to-face interaction with the parents to learn how to speak and talk.

The various reliable technologies used to teach children language are audible toys, television, digital channels, and others. But these are not much helpful in learning retention and language learning.
