    Este artículo tiene como propósito presentar una revisión de las relaciones entre los sistemas dinámicos y las teorías del desarrollo. Para ello, se mencionan ciertos antecedentes de la aparición de los sistemas complejos en psicología, que derivan en su inclusión en la psicología del desarrollo, especialmente con la sinergética y su aplicación al problema del movimiento de Bernstein. Se expone la psicología del desarrollo de Esther Thelen y Paul van Geert, donde se describen diversas propiedades de los sistemas dinámicos no lineales y varios métodos para estudiar el cambio psicológico. El texto finaliza señalando algunas consecuencias de la implementación de esta aproximación y los posibles retos para una ciencia del cambio.

    This paper presents a review of relations between dynamical systems and development theories. To do this, mentioned some background of the emergence of complex systems in psychology is mentioned, which result in their inclusion in developmental psychology, especially with the synergetic and its application to the problem of the motion of Bernstein. Explain Esther Thelen and Paul van Geert developmental psychology is eplained, which describes various properties of nonlinear dynamical systems and some types of methods for studying psychological change. The paper concludes by pointing out some consequences of the implementation of this approach and potential challenges for a science of change.
