Description

Have you ever wondered if you are expanding your vocabulary and language when using subtitles while watching a TV show or movie? Through this meta-analysis, we will be exploring the following questions focusing on the cognitive development in children: What types of words (nouns, adjectives, verbs) are most effectively retained when toddlers engage with captioned media? Does captioned media accelerate language in toddlers or is it more effective for older children? What types of media content (music, cartoons, games) are most effective in enhancing toddlers language and vocabulary skills? Can the use of captions in educational videos influence knowledge retention? What are the effects of consuming media in different languages on language acquisition?
