Alternate developmental research directions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the question of whether it is worthwhile for developmentalists to try and figure out the age at which a particular skill develops. First, I discuss why it is important to study the earliest appearance of skills. Then I mention some of the problems with some approaches to such studies and also try to point some areas where such research is not the only thing they can do. Finally, I outline some additional things developmentalists can do in addition to this, such as studies investigating learning vs. development, genetic influence, skill combining and last appearance of a skill. Why should developmentalists study ages of skill development

متن کاملAdaptivity via Alternate Freeing and Freezing of Degrees of Freedom
Starting with fewer degrees of freedom has been shown to enable a more efficient exploration of the sensorimotor space. While not necessarily leading to optimal task performance, it results in a smaller number of directions of stability, which guide the coordination of additional degrees of freedom. The developmental release of additional degrees of freedom is then expected to allow for optimal...
متن کاملThe colour spectrum of lies.
In this reply to Ceci, Burd, and Helm, we discuss future directions for developmental research to (1) study the motivations underlying white lies and (2) how to classify lies that reflect other-regard and self-interest simultaneously.
