Abstract
The investigation of organism-environment interaction in a developmental framework has been hampered by a lack of adequate analytical methods. Since the application of multivariate, structural analyses has been quite promising for the study of behavioral systems, an extension of this approach to the description and explication of organism-environment interactions on a macroscopic level may be considered as an appropriate next step. Based on characteristics of the assumed feedback mechanisms between the behavioral and environmental systems, it is possible to analyze longitudinally ordered sequences in terms of recursive versus nonrecursive and distal versus proximal relationships both within and between domains.
