چکیده
Infinite Infants is a three-year research project exploring the potential for sensory, networked and representational digital technologies in early years education. The research considers Mixed Reality (MR) as a potential agent in the context of collaborative and active learning spaces. This extended abstract presents the conceptual framework for research and design practice, formative development and summative findings.

In three studies, 18- and 24-month-olds (n = 64) were presented with novel objects, and either pretense or instrumental actions were demonstrated with these. When children were then allowed to act upon the objects themselves, qualitatively similar patterns of cultural (imit...

Are 15-month-old infants able to detect a violation in the consistency of an event sequence that involves pretense? In Experiment 1, infants detected a violation when an actor pretended to pour liquid into one cup and then pretended to drink from another cup. In Experiment 2, infants no longer detected a violation when the cups were replaced with objects not typically used in the context of dri...

متن کاملMaternal Behavior Modifications during Pretense and Their Long-Term Effects on Toddlers’ Understanding of Pretense
Recent studies indicate the need to investigate the sources of toddlers' understanding of another person's pretense. The present study is a cultural and longitudinal extension of the work of Lillard and Witherington (2004), who claimed that mothers modify their behaviors during pretense and that the some of these behavior modifications help their toddlers understand maternal pretense. Experimen...
