Going WILD Keeps Developmental Theories in Context
Bard et al call for increased inclusivity in developmental science. In agreement with this need, we highlight the need to examine the origins of our developmental theories. We build on their work by demonstra_ng that a failure to examine the metaphysical commitments to culture of our theories can lead to erroneous assump_ons as well as constraining research on development.
