Abstract

Infants and young children learn most efficiently through direct social interactions. In this paper, I address why social interactions represent such important learning opportunities in early childhood and what role embodiment may play for early social learning. Based on empirical findings, I explicate when and how infants begin identifying other people as humans, intentional agents, and potential teachers. Contingency in teacher-learner interactions is identified as a central aspect of successful social learning. This may be due to the effects of contingent feedback on children’s motivation. In addition to examining healthy development, I discuss development in children with autism spectrum disorder, which is characterized by deficient social learning.
