Consciousness and Human Development: A Dynamic Systems Perspective
Author(s): Aparna Rao
Abstract: The study of consciousness has gained renewed attention from a variety of disciplines, such as psychology, philosophy, neurobiology and computer science. The inter-disciplinary topic of consciousness is now ripe for exploring the links to human development, from infancy to the pre-school years. Moreover, advances in dynamic systems theory enable an in-depth exploration of consciousness as an emergent developmental property that continually evolves in pursuit of greater coherence and increasing complexity.
