“…For example, Bidell and Fischer [1997] have presented an epigenetic account that treats our genetic make-up and sociocultural context and participation as active self-organizing systems that, together with persons as self-organizing systems, jointly determine our intellectual and agentic development. However, unlike Mead, Bidell and Fischer understand the human agent not as multiply situated, reactive, and functionally oriented to the future resolution of problems, but as actively creative in the construction, within a process of hierarchical integration, of new concepts and skills.…”

“…The system's stability and vulnerability to change are products of the dynamic interactions transpiring among the constituent elements. Moreover, from the dynamic systems perspective, behavioral development emerges from multilevel interactions, and as noted by Bidell and Fischer [1997], partitioning of variability into mutually exclusive categories diverts the researcher's attention away from the real source of developmental variation, the activity of the person-in-context. Dynamic systems theorists do not conceive of development as occurring exclusively in a series of fixed sequences or steps.…”

“…Instead development is conceptualized as incorporating both hierarchical and heterarchical organizational properties, which incorporate the multidimensional nature of the contexts in which developmental processes are embedded. Sequential processes are incorporated along with multidirectionality in developmental pathways that emerge based on the interparticipation of multiple subsystems [Bidell and Fischer, 1997]. As a result, considerable local unpredictability characterizes the dynamic system, precluding the precise projection of the specifics of individual developmental paths, yet the prediction of global outcomes is congruent with the dynamic systems orientation [Smith and Thelen, 1993].…”

“…• Mantener el debate entre lo innato o ambiental como origen del desarrollo cognitivo, sosteniendo la pugna dicotómica de dos factores que están indisolublemente unidos y que actúan en interacción continuada, incluso desde los primeros momentos de la concepción cuando la tarea fundamental de constitución del nuevo ser está en "manos" de los genes (Hunt, 1997;Bidell y Fischer, 1997;Plomin y Petrill, 1997;Plomin y Rutter, 1998;Scarr, 1997;Ceci y Williams, 1999). …”

“…Tan reduccionista sería adoptar la primera postura como la segunda dado que la primera, emergente a partir del impacto del constructivismo vygotskiano, supone infravalorar lo que de creativo, innovador y autogestor tiene el sujeto quien modula, elabora y trasciende lo social e incluso lo regula (Bidell y Fischer, 1997;Sastre y Verba, en prensa;Sastre y Pastor, 2001). Por su parte, negar la importancia del entorno es inconcebible en la Psicología del desarrollo actual (Sternberg y Grigorenko, 1997; Ceci,) incluso desde ámbitos genetistas (Plomin y Petrill, 1997), aferrarse a ello sería como aferrarse ciegamente a las premisas ortodoxas piagetianas que hoy han sido ya matizadas, criticadas o revisadas por sus colaboradores y seguidores (Mounoud, 1994;Verba, 1994, Karmiloff-Smith, 1994Langer y Killen, 1998;etc.).…”
