The Maturational Theory of child development was introduced in 1925 by Dr. Arnold Gesell, an American educator, pediatrician and clinical psychologist whose studies focused on "the course, the pattern and the rate of maturational growth in normal and exceptional children". He pioneered the use of motion-picture cameras to study the physical and mental development of normal infants and children and whose books influenced child rearing in the US. As director of the Clinic of Child Development at Yale University(1911–48),  he collected and published a vast quantity of data and amassed a large collection of films on child development. In addition to his studies of normal development, Gesell also considered such questions as the psychological factors in child adoption and the effect of premature birth on mental development.

His impact on educators includes how teachers teach different children based on the average rate of physical and mental growth.
