It's not clear to me what is being said here. Is someone proposing that the reason that young children are said to have limited affective behavior is because they lack what we call cerebral development? What prevents us, having observed "limited affective behavior", and having established that it's specific to infants, from saying that we observe various sorts of limited development in infants, including the the sort we call "neurological"? What is added to this account by saying that what explains the limited affective behavior is the neurologically immaturity? -- -- Jon Krueger UUCP: ...seismo!rochester!ur-tut!tuba BITNET: TUBA@UORDBV USMAIL: University of Rochester Taylor Hall Rocheseter, NY 14627 (716) 275-2811
