Abstract
Applied the logic of set theory to the problem of developmental change providing a multiplicity of analytic frameworks. 3 independent dimensions of sequence invariant models are described which correspond to between- and within-person differences, and the relation of developmental elements. Within each dimension, various types of progression are identified as unitary or multiple (convergent, divergent, or parallel), simple or cumulative (partial or complete), and conjunctive or disjunctive. The resulting models are applied to selected current theories of development. The approach suggests the potential utility of applications of choice theory to developmental process. (28 ref.)
