Document Summary
Development is a dynamic, ever-changing process constantly happening at all moments. All levels of the body, microscopic to macroscopic, are important. Changes come about through internal and external influences interacting dynamically: internal = nature, external = nurture (environmental, these always interact and is wrong to look at them individually, must be looked at together. Although the ideas were around since the 1960s, the ecological approach to the study of human movement and development became widespread in the 1980s. Differs fundamentally from maturationist genetics and information processing approaches. Stresses the interaction of indiv, enviro, and task framework of the constraints model 3 levels of constraint are indiv (structural, functional), enviro and task constraints. Any one of these can change at any time as they change, so too does the interaction hence ecology. Happens within a specific ecology that can change from moment to moment. Your understanding of an object varies from someone across the world.
