First edition of the author's most famous work. Gesell (1880-1961) is considered the founder of child development studies in the United States, and was one of the first psychologists to systematically describe children's physical, social and emotional achievements through quantitative study. His Yale Clinic of Child Development pioneered the Gesell Dome which removed the distraction of having observers in the room with child and tester, by using one-way screens. He designed the dome to facilitate motion photography with screens that had slots to allow access by the cameras, and the parent and child were staged on a turntable and revolved for better camera angles. The results of this research were utilized in creating the Gesell Development Schedules used on children between four weeks and six years of age. Although his development quotient is no longer widely used, this work is recognized for its pioneering methodology of carefully observing and measuring behavior to describe child development, as well as use of photography and observation through one-way mirrors.
