Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Esther Thelen's approach is known as the "Dynamic Systems Approach to Development," which emphasizes the importance of the context and the interaction of multiple factors (both internal and external) in shaping development. The approach is grounded in the idea that motor behavior is not solely controlled by the brain, but rather emerges from the ongoing interaction of multiple systems. Therefore, option A is the best choice. The other options are related to different areas of research in cognitive psychology and perception, but do not align with Thelen's approach.
