Lifespan development of neuromodulation of adaptive control and motivation as an ontogenetic mechanism for developmental niche construction.
In evolutionary biology, the niche construction theory of Laland and colleagues (Laland, Odling-Smee & Feldman, 1999) postulates that the organism’s activities could result in substantial modifications to the environment. Moreover, environmental modifications and their effects may persist over long periods, constituting the socalled ‘ecological inheritance’ for future generations. As such, the ...
متن کاملContextualism: The World View of Behavior Analysis
The thesis of this paper is that contemporary behavior analysis-and the behavior analysis of child development in particular-is contextualistic in world view, in contrast to its traditional characterization as being mechanistic. The contextualistic character of behavior analysis is introduced by presenting some material on the field’s historical background. This material, though, is not present...
متن کاملReconsidering qualitative and quantitative research approaches: A cognitive developmental perspective
Rather than embracing the notion that contextualism requires purely qualitative methodologies, Westerman and Yanchar argue that there is a place for quantification in post-positivist research. Both authors provide compelling arguments for this position. From our cognitive developmental perspective, we see this as a move toward a new level of integration in psychology. Whereas reactive shifts be...
متن کاملP-118: Developmental Competence of Ovine Embryos Derived from Frozen Oocytes Co-Cultured with Embryos Derived from Fresh Oocytes
Background: Currently, a limited number of studies have been done on the vitrification of small ruminant oocytes, especially in sheep, where poor developmental rates are obtained following immature and mature oocyte vitrification. Poor ovine oocyte cryopreservation could attribute to the damage to enzymes which has role in metabolic pathways. Therefore, production of cytokines and growth factor...
متن کاملLifespan psychology: theory and application to intellectual functioning.
The focus of this review is on theory and research of lifespan (lifespan developmental) psychology. The theoretical analysis integrates evolutionary and ontogenetic perspectives on cultural and human development across several levels of analysis. Specific predictions are advanced dealing with the general architecture of lifespan ontogeny, including its directionality and age-differential alloca...
