GENESIS OF BEHAVIOR

Opis produktu

How are we to understand the complex forces that shape human be havior? A variety of diverse perspectives drawing on studies of human behavioral ontogeny as well as humanitys evolutionary heritage seem to provide the best likelihood of success. It is in an attempt to synthesize such potentially disparate approaches to human development into an integrated whole that we undertake this series on the genesis of behav ior. In many respects the incredible burgeoning of research in child development over the last decade or two seems like a thousand lines of inquiry spreading outward in an incoherent starburst of effort. The need exists to provide on an ongoing basis an arena of discourse within which the threads of continuity between those diverse lines of research on human development can be woven into a fabric of meaning and understanding. Scientists scholars and those who attempt to translate their efforts into the practical realities of the care and guidance of infants and children are the audience that we seek to reach. Each requires the opportunity to seeto the degree that our knowledge in given areas permitsvarious aspects of development in a coherent integrated fash ion. It is hoped that this serieswhich will bring together research on infant biology developing infant capacities animal models the impact of social cultural and familial forces on development and the distorted products of such forces under certain circumstanceswill serve these important social and sHow are we to understand the complex forces that shape human be havior?
