Abstract

Early childhood is a period of critical development, with impacts that can last a lifetime. And inequities in the quality of care for this vulnerable population—especially for those at-risk due to disability, family income, or trauma—can perpetuate further downstream health and school-readiness effects. Technology-enabled solutions have the ability to bridge quality-of-care gaps by intelligently augmenting daily activities. However, many traditional computational approaches to natural language interactions are not yet feasible nor affordable in highly variable and dynamic early childhood environments. Yet for rapidly developing preliterate young children, solutions are needed now. We present MindScribe, an interactive robotic object that leverages open-ended ‘serve and return’ natural language interactions to intelligently support reflective inquiry and school-readiness in highly variable and imaginative early childhood environments.
