In recent years, the use of digital devices in childhood has become a highly relevant research problem, both, in the educational field and in developmental psychology. Researchers have been interested in unraveling whether children symbolically understand the information presented on screens, whether they learn from it, and under what conditions such learning occurs. The purpose of this study was to explore which interaction strategy is more effective for learning a concept. There are two issues that need further investigation: 1) to investigate ifthe feedback provided by digital applications issufficient to promote learning of a concept.; 2) to evaluate the impact on learning of using an application with the support of an adult who provides social scaffolding from different levels of interaction.
