His work in biology is especially pertinent, for Hall was drawn to Haeckel's ideas about recapitulation. Haeckel (1876, 1879) believed that an embryo's ontogenetic progression mirrored the phylogenetic historythe evolutionof its species. Thus, when one looks at the changes characterizing an individual member of a species as it progresses across its embryological period, one sees a recapitulation of the evolutionary changes of the species. For example, Haeckel (1876, 1879) interpreted the gill slits of human embryos as characteristics of ancestral adult fish that had been compressed into the early stages of human ontogeny through a universal mechanism of acceleration of development rates in evolving lines.
Accordingly, describing the status of the field in 1963, Bronfenbrenner wrote that "first and foremost, the gathering of data for data's sake seems to have lost in favor. The major concern in today's developmental research is clearly with inferred processes and constructs" (p. 527). Similarly, in a review almost a decade later, Looft (1972) found a continuation of the trends noted by Bronfenbrenner. Looft's review, like Bronfenbrenner's, was based on an analysis of major handbooks of developmental psychology published from the 1930s to 1972.
