Key Points: 


The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work.

The big idea

    • She then listens to their responses and replies with feedback specific to their answers, or provides additional clues when needed.
    • In this case, Elinor follows up by asking, “Yeah, I wonder why the ketchup is stuck inside the bottle.
    • After the children watched the episodes, we assessed their understanding of the science concepts that were presented, including aerodynamics and reptile shedding.
    • We found that children watching the semi-interactive version quickly lost interest in responding to Elinor’s questions after they realized she could not comprehend their answers.

Why it matters

    • Children in the U.S. spend an average of nearly two hours per day watching TV or online videos, according to a national survey.
    • While platforms like PBS Kids provide free educational TV programs, the educational benefits can be limited by the lack of interaction with the content.
    • This could make watching TV a more active and engaging way for kids to learn science.

What other research is being done

    • AI is being integrated into a range of media products, including e-books, smart toys and social robots.
    • Meanwhile, advances in AI technology will likely increase its accuracy in processing children’s speech, and therefore enable more natural interactions between children and AI.

What’s next

    • A study involving children who speak Spanish and English is in progress.
    • We also have plans to integrate AI into more PBS Kids shows, including an upcoming series called “Lyla in the Loop,” which highlights creative problem-solving for children ages 4-8.
