The term "evocative" refers to the way an individual's behavior evokes (or elicits) particular responses from others, such as positive reinforcement, punishment, or social withdrawal. This type of correlation is considered distinct from "passive" correlation, which refers to the way a child's genetic traits can elicit certain responses from the environment, and "active" correlation, which refers to the way children seek out environments that are compatible with their own traits and interests. "Immediate" correlation is not a term commonly used in developmental psychology.
