Interactive Specialization
- Interactive Specialization
Interactive Specialization is a theory of brain development proposed by the British cognitive neuroscientist Mark Johnson, who is head of the [http://www.cbcd.bbk.ac.uk/ Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development] at Birkbeck College, London.
In his book "Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience" [] .
The hypothesis has attracted increasing attention in recent years as a number of neuroimaging studies on younger children have provided data that appears to fit specific predictions made by Johnson's model [] , which argues against a strong nativist (innate) view on development. Other key influences include Gilbert Gottlieb's theory of Probabilistic Epigenesis [] , a framework that emphasizes the reciprocity and ubiquity of gene-environment interaction in the realization of all phenotypes, and work on developmental disorders by Annette Karmiloff-Smith.
