A researcher who is a proponent of dynamic systems theory would be most interested in studying crawling and stepping, as this theory focuses on how complex behaviors emerge from the interactions between multiple systems (e.g. neural, muscular, environmental) rather than just one system alone.

The other answer choices (the cerebral cortex, language development, temperament) may be of interest to researchers in other areas of developmental psychology, but are not necessarily specific to dynamic systems theory.
