interval core stable)

• Dev trajectories- pathways or life course patterns
• Transitions-choice facing and individual to follow several pathways that results in radical
changes in life course, allows for the possibility of change in the course of dev

• Ontario Child Health Study Data- heterogenicity is the rule!
• Equifinality- there is more than one dev pathway to a given outcome
