Cognitive-Developmental and Behavior-Analytic Theories: Evolving into Complementarity

Abstract: Historically, cognitive-developmental and behavior-analytic approaches to the study of human behavior change and development have been presented as incompatible alternative theoretical and methodological perspectives. This presumed incompatibility has been understood as arising from divergent sets of metatheoretical assumptions that take the form of ontological and epistemological principles, and constitute worldviews. Classically, cognitive-developmental approaches have been cast as deriving from an organismi… Show more

“…Important figures in current Developmental Psychology such as Bronfenbrenner, Gottlieb, Lerner, Magnusson and Thelen have defended the idea that this perspective may become a "new theoretical framework" to guide any future investigation and interpretation concerning development (Bronfenbrenner & Evans, 2000;Gottlieb, 1997;Lerner, 2006;Magnusson, 1998;Thelen & Smith, 2006). Moreover, this vision appears to be coherent with the assumptions of the new "relational metatheory" proposed by Overton and Ennis (2006) to integrate traditionally opposing worldviews.The aim of the present work is to offer an introductory and synthetic approach to prevailing theoretical assumptions on Developmental Psychology. We start this article by briefly mentioning some core antecedents of the systemic view, then going on to analyze its core concepts.…”

“…Since its origins, Developmental Psychology has been characterized by the coexistence of theoretical perspectives, many of which are considered incompatible. This is the case with Piagetian and classical behavioral approaches, based respectively on organismic and mechanistic meta-theoretical assumptions (Overton & Ennis, 2006).…”

“…Dynamic systems theory (Overton 2006(Overton , 2007Overton & Ennis 2006;Witherington 2007Witherington , 2011Witherington , 2014 or developmental systems perspective (Lerner 2006) is one of the most viable and comprehensive meta-theoretical schemes in developmental science which cogently and coherently caters for concerns of describing, explaining, and optimizing the processual trajectory of human development over time. System philosophy 'reintegrates the concept of enduring universals with transient processes within a non-bifurcated, hierarchically differentiated realm of invariant systems, as the ultimate actualities of self-structuring nature' (Laszlo 1972, italics added).…”

“…Le dialectisme est associé au contextualisme; il s'inscrit plus particulièrement en extension de celui-ci (Overton, 1998). Nous assistons à l'émergence de perspectives intermédiaires constituées de l'amalgame des principes de plusieurs métathéories, pensons particulièrement au courant organiste-contextuel qui intègre fortement la composante socioculturelle et qui s'inscrit dans une logique dialectique (Overton, 2007;Overton et Ennis, 2006 Le lien entre les systèmes sociaux (mésosystème) peut ainsi être lu à travers des perspectives variées. Les microsystèmes peuvent être représentés de façon plus ou moins cloisonnée ou, au contraire, plus ou moins intégrée.…”
