From this time on, socialization takes place. “Every child always has a repertory of actions that needs replacing”. Successful development is characterized by a decrease in autism and innate need-centered actions and by an increase in dyadic, socially centered behavior. Failure to develop results in a lack of movement, or in a reversal of the trends mentioned above. Early-child development introduces there essential questions:
1. Under what conditions is a child’s motivational system learned?
2. What are the circumstances in which parents and other environmental factors reinforce the child’s learning?
3. What are the products of the child’s learning, or what are his behavior patterns?
