    Although the basic design of the experiment has been used in developmental research since the late 1960s, related research traditionally focused solely on infant activity, treating infant and environment as separate entities

    That seems like an obvious thing not to do to a layman. Why did that persist for so long?

        Depends on your interpretation of recent.

        There was research published along these lines since the 50’s and a large surge in the 80s.

        It’s back in vogue again now and everyone likes their research to be paradigm changing.
