Development of Early Expressive and Communicative Action: Reinterpreting the Evidence from a Dynamic Systems Perspective.

Fogel, Alan; Thelen, Esther

Developmental Psychology, v23 n6 p747-61 Nov 1987

Applies a systems approach to the development of expressive and communicative action of infants in the first year of life. Hypothesizes that the systems approach (which integrates expressive and communicative actions with other elements of the infant's physiology, cognition, behavior, and social environment) will explain previously unexplained developmental phenomena.
