According to the renowned psychologist C. H. Waddington, who introduced the framework of the 'Epigenetic Landscape' in developmental psychology, which major characteristic or process of child development does this concept most accurately define?

The 'Epigenetic Landscape' proposed by C. H. Waddington is a famous metaphor in evolutionary biology and child development.

Key Concept

• Canalization: Waddington used this to explain how developmental pathways (chreodes) are organized so that development proceeds along a stable, predetermined route despite minor environmental disturbances or genetic variations.
• Gene-Environment Interaction: It demonstrates how the interaction between genes and the environment controls and stabilizes the trajectory of a child's development.
