Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Abstract A substantial body of research has shown that preschoolers learn a variety of skills from educational television; however, with the introduction of videos such as Baby Einstein, it is important to ask if babies younger than 2 can learn from television. Little research has addressed this topic directly. Therefore, in this essay I first, review the limited literature on infants, babies, toddlers and media. Second, I discuss related research that focuses on the development of early cognition in infants. I draw links between this literature and media research in order to extrapolate from it and draw conclusions about infant cognition and media. Third, I discuss the areas of research that should be pursued pertaining to infants, babies, toddlers and media. In sum, the literature suggests that infants younger than 2 years old learn little from television because it lacks social contingency and is perceived by babies as socially irrelevant. In addition, very basic conceptual knowledge is needed in infants before more advanced learning, such as language acquisition, can be achieved. The essay explores whether television is capable of teaching these very basic cognitive skills.
