Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

von Eye, Alexander – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2015
The concepts and paradigms "development", "evolution", and "developmental behavior genetics" target, in their statements, populations. The laws of genetics and evolution are supposed to apply to every single case in a population. It can be counted among the major contributions of Gottlieb (1992, 1995) to have pointed…

Dieter, John N. I. – European Journal of Developmental Science, 2007
Discussed are the ontogenetic and evolutionary implications of Dr. Gottlieb's perinatal research with ducklings. His evolutionary theory which proposes that behavior is the primary engine driving evolution is reviewed as is his experimental examination of behavioral neophenotypes. The methodology and findings from Gottlieb (1991/2007) are…

Intentional Self-Development--Genetically Framed: Reconciliation of Evolutionary and Action-Theoretical Perspectives on Human Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Greve, Werner; Ebner, Natalie C. – European Journal of Developmental Science, 2007
Is human ontogenesis a product of evolution or a result of individual decisions and actions? In the present paper we aim at solving this apparent conflict between a behavioral genetics approach and an action-theoretical perspective to human development. After a discussion of the idea of active and intentional self-development and the role of genes…

A Tribute to Gilbert Gottlieb: The Evolution of an Evolutionist
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Rosenblatt, Jay S. – European Journal of Developmental Science, 2007
In addition to his pioneering studies on prenatal development of social responses in the mallard, Gilbert Gottlieb made important theoretical contributions to the study of the evolution of behavior. This tribute to Gottlieb presents his early view that prenatal behavioral development is the product of evolution and his revision of this view in his…

Doing What Comes Naturally: The Role of Self Generated Experience in Behavioral Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Michel, George F. – European Journal of Developmental Science, 2007
Gottlieb used naturalistic observations of normally occurring events in the life history of individuals for the purpose of discovering the role of experience in the development of species-typical behaviors. His research revealed the impact of self-generated experiences (particularly those experiences that were self-stimulated) in the establishment…

Experience as a Component of Normal Development: Evolutionary Considerations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Greenough, William T. – Developmental Psychology, 1991
Suggests that experiential canalization is appropriately applied to constraints caused by the behavior of an organism or members of its species. When other aspects of the environment propel the organism to develop in certain ways, this process reflects adaptation to the environment. Conditions for evolution of experience as a guide to development…
