The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project
is developing a research classification system for psychopathology based upon dimensions
of neurobiology and observable behavior (
1
). This commentary highlights the compatibility of the dimensional approach with extant
research on brain and behavioral development and demonstrates how the application
of a neurodevelopmental perspective can extend and enrich RDoC.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
