Abstract
The developmental level of child information seekers affects their
ability to interact with digital technology as a means to satisfy their information
needs. Principles of child development and learning that
inform developmentally appropriate practice must be considered
when designing digital environments for the very young. Cognitive,
physical, social, and emotional development impact a child’s ability
to interact successfully with a digital environment. These developmental
considerations and design responses supportive of young
children’s information-seeking behavior, as well as perspectives of
theorists in the area of child development and system design, are
addressed. (from the article)
