Preferred term

Tufts University, Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development  

Definition

  • The Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts, is a focal point for contemporary applied developmental science (ADS), with an illustrious history reflecting key themes of the evolution of ADS in the United States as well as in its increasingly global scope. From its founding in 1922 to its current situation as the home base for the Applied Developmental Science Institute, the scholarly journal Applied Developmental Science, as well as the Handbook of Applied Developmental Science (Lerner, Jacobs, & Wertlieb, 2003), Eliot-Pearson's traditions and innovations shape and define ADS, and the department serves as a demonstration, laboratory, training, and dissemination center for the field ().
