Developmental theories for the 1990s: development and individual differences.

Child development - 1 Feb 1992

Scarr S

Abstract excerpt

Understanding both typical human development and indivdual differences within the same theoretical framework has been difficult because the 2 orientations arise from different philosophical traditions. It is argued that an evolutionary perspective can unite the study of both species-typical development and individual variation. Research on determininants of development from many perspectives can be understood...
