Developmental Adaptation to Stress: Longitudinal Tests of an Evolutionary-Developmental Model

Saturday, March 9, 2019 · Paris, France

Lifespan Development

Childhood stress may prompt the development of costly but adaptive strategies. This symposium highlights how early adversity becomes embedded in the overall condition or organization of biological systems, and how these biologically embedded changes guide patterns of development that are potentially adaptive in the context of high social/economic disadvantage.
