Experiential Canalization of Behavioral Development: Theory.

Gottlieb, Gilbert

Developmental Psychology, v27 n1 p4-13 Jan 1991

In contrast to earlier notions, a systems view of an organism's development sees genes as only one component in a hierarchy of influences that produces finished traits and differentiation. Developmental canalization proceeds from genes, behavior, and environment as well as from the coaction of these factors. (BC)
