To help introduce the idea of homology into developmental psychology, this article presents some of the concepts, distinctions, and guidelines biologists and philosophers of biology have devised to study homology. Some unresolved issues related to this idea are considered as well. Because homology reflects continuity across time, developmental scientists should find this concept to be useful in the study of psychological/behavioral development, just as biologists have found it essential in the study of the evolution and development of morphological and other characteristics.
为了帮助引入同源性的概念到发展心理学中，本文介绍了一些生物学家和生物学哲学家为研究同源性而设计的概念、区别和准则。本文也考虑了一些与这个概念相关的未解决的问题。因为同源性反映了跨越时间的连续性，发展心理学家应该发现这个概念在研究心理/行为发展时是有用的，就像生物学家发现它在研究形态和其他特征的进化和发展时是必不可少的一样。
