- Thegn 2y agoI don’t have a source now, but a while ago (pre-pandemic) I saw a study that showed babies don’t pick up basic language structures very well at all from videos for whatever reason.
- llamaimperative 2y agoPresumably from lack of relevant context (i.e. relevance to the child's own needs/sensory experience) and lack of trial and error. Similarly you can't learn to write code very well from watching videos of someone watching code, especially when they're not trying to teach code through the video.
