q2 · i? · causal · r1

Observational coding of conversations during three in-person co-viewing sessions with Cohort 1 families (7 intervention, 9 comparison), documented by research assistants. The study found adults in the intervention condition "tended to initiate more conversations in those moments than parents in the comparison condition" before and after viewing; during-viewing patterns were not different across conditions.

"even though initiations before and after episode viewing were less frequent than initiations during episodes, adults in the intervention condition tended to initiate more conversations in those moments than parents in the comparison condition"

• Self-study students produced more substantive comments, a higher proportion of substantive comments, and more co-constructive turns during discussion than lecture students, though interaction-episode counts did not differ — related
