This video clip shows two babies making eye contact and one touching the arm of the other. Take time to write a transcript of their thoughts, as if at this young age they have full command of English. This "think print" activity often helps you see features of the video that a more literal analysis misses. Consider the importance of vision during the early months of life when mobility has not fully developed. What can infants learn by looking? What indications for learning do you see in this video? And if you don't see much indication of learning, write down what the infants might do that would so indicate they have learned something.
