Inhaltsangabe

Presenting a new (2022) edition of a classic behavioral approach to child development, completely updated with new research and findings yet remaining true to the core characteristics of past editions. The approach in this textbook combines the views of dynamical systems concepts with a behavioral analysis of development. A systems view reflects an emerging consensus in modern developmental theory. It is an account that incorporates both person and environment influences. It views developmental outcome as a constant process of reciprocal interactions (or transactions) between nature and nurture. The result of these ever-changing transactions is the continual reorganization of the person-environment systems. The behavior-analytic approach has long been underrepresented in developmental psychology. Its emphasis on process, interaction, environmental influences, and the individual makes it an especially good fit with one of the developmental systems approaches call dynamic systems theory. The synthesis of these views into Behavioral Systems Theory provides a powerful and coherent view of the process of human development.
