This tutorial will cover child development theories from the “classics” that have had a significant impact on interaction design, such as Piaget, Vygotsky, and Papert, to more recent ideas, such as neuroconstructivism and connectionism. The discussion will include concepts such as embodiment, emergence, and plasticity. Hourcade will examine how these theories can inform the design, implementation, and evaluation of technologies for children with the goal of promoting healthy development.
