Conceptual Prerequisites for an Understanding of Stability-Change and Continuity-Discontinuity.

Overton, Willis F.; Reese, Hayne W.

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v4 n1 p99-123 Mar 1981

Discusses implications which incompatible world views present regarding change and development. One perspective represents reality as stable and change as a function of antecedent causes. Another perspective represents reality as active and rules out antecedent causes. Continuity-discontinuity is seen as a significant issue for investigating the two world views. (Author/DB)
