The Significance of Biology for Human Development: A Developmental Psychobiological Systems View

Gottlieb, Gilbert, Wahlsten, Douglas, Lickliter, Robert·2007·Handbook of Child Psychology

Abstract

The notion that phenotypic traits, including behavior, can be predetermined has slowly given way in biology and psychology over the last several decades to the view that all traits are the outcome of development. This shift in thinking is based on a growing appreciation of the reciprocity of influences within and between levels of an individual's developmental manifold (including genetic activity; neural activity; and physical, biological, and social environments) and the ubiquity of gene-environment interaction in the realization of all phenotypes. This chapter describes the history and current status of this psychobiological systems view of development, its implications for a developmentally oriented conception of behavior genetics, its application to a research area such as intersensory development, and the broader implications of a developmental psychobiological systems view of human development. A brief evaluation of current thinking in biology, developmental neuroscience, developmental psychobiology, and sociology is included.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
