Infant Stimulation and Development: Conceptual and Empirical Considerations.

Brownell, Celia A.; Strauss, Mark S.

Journal of Children in Contemporary Society, v17 n1 p109-30 Fall 1984

Examines the assumptions about infant development that underlie infant intervention programs. Focuses on four popular ideas: that environment is the sole determinant of development; that development is linear and continuous; that early experiences carry more weight than later experiences; and that providing a more "stimulating" environment accelerates development.
