Arnold Lucius Gesell  

Definition

  • Arnold Lucius Gesell (1880–1961) is best known for his contributions to the field of psychology in the realm of infant development, but his legacy extends far beyond this relatively narrow boundary. During the course of his 50-year career at the Yale University Clinic of Child Development, Gesell engaged in many methodological, philosophical, scientific, and literary advances in the fields of psychology, medicine, and ethology, and his work continues to have a substantial impact on the empirical sciences today.
