本土主义和建构主义的方法来研究发展有一个共同的重点，即表征开始和结束状态的发展。这个焦点已经突出了保存和转化的问题-成人最终状态的核心方面是否存在于婴儿期的最早表现中。相反，发展系统方法强调发展变化的过程。这一观点避开了发展进程中客观起点和终点的概念，并拒绝接受任何特定因素在解释发展变化时享有特权地位的观点。使用运动发育和动物行为的例子，我们展示了发展系统框架如何避免关于连续性与质变的长期而有争议的争论的陷阱。
Nativist and constructivist approaches to the study of development share a common emphasis on characterizing beginning and end states in development. This focus has highlighted the question of preservation and transformation-whether core aspects of the adult end state are present in the earliest manifestations during infancy. In contrast, a developmental systems approach emphasizes the process of developmental change. This perspective eschews the notions of objective starting and ending points in a developmental progression and rejects the idea that any particular factor should enjoy a privileged status in explaining developmental change. Using examples from motor development and animal behavior, we show how a developmental systems framework can avoid the pitfalls of the long and contentious debate about continuity versus qualitative change.
