Gesell’s Maturational Theory : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gesell’s Maturational Theory The Maturational Theory of child development was developed beginning in 1925 by Arnold Gesell, an American educator, medical doctor and psychologist whose studies in child psychology were primarily concerned with biological maturation and how it is related to overall development. Gesell carried out many observational studies during more than 50 years working at the Yale Clinic of Child Development. Gesell and his colleagues constructed a set of behavioral norms that illustrate sequential and predictable patterns of growth and development. Gesell asserted that all children go through similar stages, although each child may move through these stages at their own rate Gesell's Maturational Theory have influenced child-rearing and primary education methods for many years. == Principles of Development ==
Gesell believed that a child’s growth and development is influenced by both their environment and heredity, but he largely investigated the children's physiological development. He called this process maturation, that is, the process by which development is governed by intrinsic factors, principally the genes. According to Gesell, the rate at which children develop primarily depends on the growth of their nervous system, consisting of the complicated web of nerve fibers, spinal cord, and brain. As the nervous system grows, their minds develop and their behaviors change accordingly.
