متن کاملDevelopment itself is the key to understanding developmental disorders.
It is a truism that development involves contributions from both genes and environment, but theories differ with respect to the roles they attribute to each, which deeply affects the ways in which developmental disorders are researched. The strict nativist approach to abnormal phenotypes, inspired by adult neuropsychology and evolutionary psychology, seeks to identify impairments to domain-spec...

Introduction The computational modelling of cognitive processes offers several advantages. One of the most notable is theory clarification. Verbally specified theories permit the use of vague, ill-defined terms that may mask errors of logic or consistency, errors that often become apparent when formal implementation forces these terms to be clarified. Whereas in the domain of intelligence resea...
