Framework

Developmental Ecosystem Framework

The ecosystem is built on five interconnected domains that shape human development, adaptation, and performance:

Biology, temperament, genetics, and the nervous system → developmental science, neuroscience, behavioral genetics

Experiences, learning, relationships, maturation → developmental psychology, attachment research, education science

Cognition, emotion, personality, self-regulation → cognitive science, personality psychology, executive functioning research

Family, culture, social environment → ecological systems theory and social development research

Behavior, choices, performance, contribution → behavioral science, organizational psychology, human performance research
