The first chapter for this reason has been quite instrumental to me in answering this enquiry. Processes that promote or hinder developmental competence Rather than discussing the specific contributions of different types of developmental influences, such as nutrition, morbidity, psychosocial environment, or culture, this section will focus on the processes underlying the contributions of these influences to the development of competence, with discussion of four principles: multiple determinants, specificity, covariance, and temporal moderation. This reflects a bias of developmental researchers, who tend to focus on specific areas of development taken in isolation.
