“…The permeability of the skin, highest at birth, decreases in the first year such that the skin of a 1-year-old child is similar to that of an adult (5). In addition, a layer of subcutaneous fat develops at approximately 2-3 months of age in infants and continues to exist through the early toddler period (10). This layer of fat may act as a sink for lipophilic chemicals absorbed through the skin.…”

“…This apparent decrease in the purely de scriptive category across chapters may be misleading, however. Although the older descriptive tradition, e.g., the early chap ters on language development [McCarthy, 1931[McCarthy, , 1946, physical development [Well man, 1931;Thompson, 1946;Tanner, 1970], and development during the infancy years [Kessen et al, 1970] has certainly di minished, there appears to be a renewed emphasis on carefully arranged observa tional studies across a wide range of behav ioral and interpersonal domains. While this renewed interest in observational data may be framed in ethnological terms or employ rather sophisticated contingency or sequen tial analyses, it remains essentially descrip tive in nature.…”

The History of Child Psychology as Seen through Handbook Analysis

An analysis of handbooks of child psychology published from 1931 to 1983 was undertaken to assess various trends. There has been a striking increase in the number of words, chapters, authors cited, and mean references per chapter for each succeeding handbook. The shift away from descriptive content has continued, with growing emphasis on theoretical and analytical treatments. The latest volume also features metatheoretical analyses. The emphasis on cognition seen in the 1970s has diminished, resulting in a more diverse content. This diversity is organized by two unifying themes, developmentahsm, reflecting the shift from age-specific to general developmental analysis, and contextualism, reflecting both ecological approaches and the social and scientific contexts of developmental investigators. There is less emphasis on nomothetic theories, a move toward eclectic neofunctionalism, and a renewed emphasis on ethological or system approaches. The growing maturity of child psychology as a separate focus of study is highlighted by the inclusion of chapters on the history of the discipline in the most recent handbook.

INTRODUCTIONIn general it has been found that motor ability increases as a function of age and physical maturation throughout childhood years. A review of studies in this area is provided by Thompson (1954). It has also been demonstrated for a variety of tasks that the motor ability of groups of normals is usually superior to that of groups of retardates, (cf.
