Gesell and his colleagues documented a set of behavioral norms that illustrate sequential & predictable patterns of growth and development. Gesell asserted that all children go through the same stages of development in the same sequence, although each child may move through these stages at their own rate [3] Gesell's Maturational Theory has ...
The Gesell Developmental Schedules claimed that an appraisal of the developmental status of infants and young children could be made. The Gesell Developmental Schedule believes that human development unfolds in stages, or in sequences over a given time period. These stages were considered milestones, or the manifestations of mental development. [1]
Maturationism is an early childhood educational philosophy that sees the child as a growing organism and believes that the role of education is to passively support this growth rather than actively fill the child with information. This theory suggests that growth and development unfold from within the organism. [1]
Arnold Lucius Gesell (21 June 1880 – 29 May 1961) was an American psychologist, pediatrician and professor at Yale University known for his research and contributions to the fields of child hygiene and child development.
[1]: 9 By observing his son's behavior, Darwin kept a record of the growth and behavior of the child. Even though Darwin's theory of evolution is not directly related to child development, Darwin noted that the stages of evolution of a species largely resembled the stages of development of the child. His theory helped other biologists develop ...

a model to show Walt. He arrived early one morning and set up his work in Walt’s outer office, insisting that Walt view his songwriters; the “Nine Old Men” in Disney animation— all were still working, although Marc Davis had moved to Imagineering; and John Hench, Claude Coats, and Davis at Imagineering.
Arnold Gesell was the creator of the maturational theory of development. Gesell said that development occurs due to biological hereditary features such as genetics and children will reach developmental milestones when they are ready to do so in a predictable sequence. [13]
