with color, and different auditory stimuli with music, talking, and different languages

There were no human faces, can’t touch or taste.

What was the relationship between watching baby videos and early language development?
Fairly small correlation between TV/videos. Child edu TV had the highest expressive
language correlation
What was the strongest predictor of early language development in the Zimmerman et al.
(2007) study?
Reading stories and talking to your child.
Does viewing infant videos appear to be an easy and effective way to increase vocabulary?
There is no difference between DVD and no DVD groups
What do the DeLoache et al. (2010) findings suggest as the best method for increasing
vocabulary early in life?
Parent teaching > video with interaction = video with no interaction = control
Friends of yours have a 9-month-old. They ask for your opinion about baby video viewing
and what the science suggests? How would you advise them?
Parent-teach the child language development and add child educational TV when
parent teaching is not possible. Both show that language development increases with
the techniques.
