Integrated development: theory and experimental evidence
A. H. Ismail
Sažetak
Body and mind are never independent; such subdivision is entirely arbitrary and unfounded Aithough much remains to be learned about the brain and central nervous system, neurologists in general agree that the idea of two lives, somatic and physic, has outlived it usefulness. On the basis of neurological evidence it could be concluded that motor performance as overt behavior is a reflection of the neural process taking place in the cerebellar cortex. A survey of some related theories, i.e. organismic age theory by Olson, theory of neurological organisation by Doman and Delcato, perceptual motor concept by Kephart, elicitation theory by Denny etc. was given. Also numerous studies, concerning relationships between various domains of development (motor, intellectual, and personality traits) were cited as evidence of the theory of integrated development. It was concluded that the types of development - physical, intellectual, emotional and social - are not simply "aggregates" or independent domains, but rather there are "organic unities" among those domains. These organic unities are often characterized by familiar dictum that they posses an organization which makes each of them "more than the sum of its parts". It is the author's opinion that researchers should devote their effort to studying the interactions - simple and complex - among the domains of development rather than the main effects; namely, the domains themselves.
