Parent-child Conversation with Digital Personalized Books, 2017-2018

This study investigated parent-child reading of books with personalised and non-personalised features. Parents and children were invited to the research laboratory and asked to read a digital book that contained personalised and non-personalised features. There were new words embedded in both sections of the book. We measured whether children will learn more new words as a result of personalisation. We were also interested in potential differences in parent-child interaction around the book.
