Discuss what is meant by "canalization" when it comes to human development
What will be an ideal response?
Canalization refers to the tendency to return to one's genetically determined pattern of
growth. In other words, if something has happened that has interfered with the child's
growth, such as an illness or poor nutrition, the child will tend to "catch up" once that
challenge has passed or been taken care of. Frequently, this means that a child who
has shown a deficiency will demonstrate acceleration in development and will return to
approximately the normal course of development for that individual.
