Reexamining models of early learning in the digital age: Applications for learning in the wild.

Rachel Barr,
Heather Kirkorian

Abstract: Young children are growing up in an increasingly complicated digital world. Laboratory-based research shows that it is cognitively demanding to process and transfer information presented on screens during early childhood. Multiple explanations for this cognitive challenge have been proposed. This review provides an updated comprehensive framework that integrates prior theoretical explanations to develop new testable hypotheses. The review also considers how the research can be generalized to the "wild" where c… Show more

“…
Barr and Kirkorian (2023) describe difficulties that toddlers and some preschoolers have with learning from screens, such as not being able to replicate a video demonstration with real objects. In this essay, I examine eight evidence-based principles for designing multimedia lessons based on 40 years of research with adults and adolescents that could be adapted and tested for improving onscreen learning by toddlers and preschoolers (Mayer, 2021).

“…Transfer deficits highlight the challenge of how to design screen-based learning experiences for young children that are educationally effective. Barr and Kirkorian (2023) present a thoughtful, evidence-based discussion of this problem and offer a useful theoretical framework. They focus on how to help toddlers and preschoolers learn from onscreen instructional messages such as video demonstrations and eBooks.…”
