Adaptive behaviour can be understood at both proximate and ultimate levels of explanation. At the ultimate level, there is evidence it evolved through natural selection as it allows individuals to flexibly meet the demands of their environment.[{{Cite journal |last=]Floreano |first=Dario |last2=Keller |first2=Laurent |date=2010-01-26 |title=Evolution of Adaptive Behaviour in Robots by Means of Darwinian Selection |url=https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1000292 |journal=PLOS Biology |language=en |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=e1000292 |doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.1000292 |issn=1545-7885 |pmc=2811146 |pmid=20126252}} At the proximate level, adaptive behaviour depends on intact cognitive processes, with research demonstrating that developmental changes in cognition are positively associated with changes in adaptive behaviour in individuals with intellectual disability.[{{Cite journal |last=Dakopolos |first=Andrew |last2=Condy |first2=Emma |last3=Smith |first3=Elizabeth |last4=Harvey |first4=Danielle |last5=Kaat |first5=Aaron J. |last6=Coleman |first6=Jeanine |last7=Riley |first7=Karen |last8=Berry-Kravis |first8=Elizabeth |last9=Hessl |first9=David |date=2024-06-13 |title=Developmental associations between cognition and adaptive behavior in intellectual and developmental disability |url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11177479/ |journal=Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders |volume=16 |issue=1 |pages=31 |doi=10.1186/s11689-024-09542-z |issn=1866-1955 |pmc=11177479 |pmid=38872099}}] |

Adaptive behaviour can be understood at both proximate and ultimate levels of explanation. At the ultimate level, it is thought to have evolved through natural selection, with major evolutionary approaches agreeing that humans possess psychological mechanisms that produce adaptive responses to environmental demands.[{{Cite journal |last=Brown |first=Gillian R. |last2=Richerson |first2=Peter J. |date=2014-07-01 |title=Applying evolutionary theory to human behaviour: past differences and current debates |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10818-013-9166-4 |journal=Journal of Bioeconomics |language=en |volume=16 |issue=2 |pages=105–128 |doi=10.1007/s10818-013-9166-4 |issn=1573-6989}}] At the proximate level, adaptive behaviour depends on intact cognitive processes, with research demonstrating that developmental changes in cognition are positively associated with changes in adaptive behaviour in individuals with intellectual disability.[{{Cite journal |last=Dakopolos |first=Andrew |last2=Condy |first2=Emma |last3=Smith |first3=Elizabeth |last4=Harvey |first4=Danielle |last5=Kaat |first5=Aaron J. |last6=Coleman |first6=Jeanine |last7=Riley |first7=Karen |last8=Berry-Kravis |first8=Elizabeth |last9=Hessl |first9=David |date=2024-06-13 |title=Developmental associations between cognition and adaptive behavior in intellectual and developmental disability |url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11177479/ |journal=Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders |volume=16 |issue=1 |pages=31 |doi=10.1186/s11689-024-09542-z |issn=1866-1955 |pmc=11177479 |pmid=38872099}}] |
