SECTION II. IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS: Big Science: Large groups of scientists with differing ideas or areas of expertise working collaboratively on a collective research project.

epistemologist-that is, a person who studies the origins of human knowledge-and his theories led to more advanced work in child psychology. This work involves both experimental and observational methods and, in accounting for behavior, integrates biological and environmental variables. Thus, current studies have their origins in Darwin's theory of evolution but also consider Watson's concern for environment (Kroll 1995). A theory of development should reflect an attempt to relate behavioral to chronological
