Beschreibung:
<jats:p>Relational complexity theory has important virtues, but
the present model omits key aspects and evidence. In contrast,
skill theory specifies (1) a detailed series of developmental changes
in relational complexity from birth to age 30, (2) processes of
interaction of content and structure that produce variability in
complexity, (3) the role of cortical development, and (4) empirical
criteria for complexity levels, including developmental
discontinuities. Many findings support these specifications.</jats:p>
