This study introduced the dynamic theory and examined it's suggestions to the developmental psychology. The dynamic theory that covered the meaning of complexity, chaos and nonlinear was used in many fields. Dynamic approach assumed that the order of complex and chaos system could be detected by using the computer and mathmatic equations. According to the dynamic theory, the order of a open system emerged out of the instable fluctuations and developed along with the self-organization. Recently, the attempt to apply dynamic approach took place in the field of the developmental psychology especially in cognitive development. The results of such studies indicated that cognitions emerged without any representation and develop with the self-organization. In these developmental processes, multiple time scales and factors of multilevels were compounded. The dynamic theory was expected as a frame that provides the holistic, plastic and dynamic view in human development.
