ABSTRACT
Evolution is one thing, and development is quite another. They involve a different
kind of dynamic, and their empirical methodologies are far apart. But, on the other
hand, they also have important areas of overlap, especially in the domain of theory.
This is due to the fact that both evolution and development use time as an organiza-
tional and exploratory principle. Only temporal analysis can reveal the details of
emergent structure and dynamic processes. This is especially important in the case
of human cognition, which defies reduction to a static model.
