Summary

Summary

The author shows how simple models based on mutual interactions between children and their environments explain not only smooth evolutions but also sudden jumps, temporal regressions, cycles and chaotic change in cognitive and language development. A central concept of the system is non-linearity - small causes can have big effects and variables may be sensitive to threshold effects.
