It's not clear to me what is being said here.  Is someone proposing that the
reason that young children are said to have limited affective behavior is
because they lack what we call cerebral development?

What prevents us, having observed "limited affective behavior", and having
established that it's specific to infants, from saying that we observe
various sorts of limited development in infants, including the the sort we
call "neurological"?  What is added to this account by saying that what
explains the limited affective behavior is the neurologically immaturity?
