Webinar information
Previous research has shown that observing social interactions between others (“third-party interactions”) represents a crucial learning opportunity for typically developing infants. In her talk, Maleen Thiele presents two studies that investigate the processes of guiding infants to situations where they can observe third-party interactions and factors promoting successful learning during the actual observation.
