Getting Psychology Back Onto Its Feet: the Developmental View of James Mark Baldwin.

The purpose of this article is to provide a general view of Baldwin's evolutionary theory on the interaction between ontogenesis and phylogeny processes and on the imitative reactions and its social implications in mental development. The focus is on the organic selection model as complementary developmental view to what has been posed by the target article of Zagaria et al. (Integrative Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, 2020) about evolutionary psychology understood as meta-theoretical perspective to resolve the nature-nurture dialectics.
