Detailed explanation-1: -His theory was influenced by Darwin’s evolutionary theory and is based on the assumption that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. He viewed human development as a recapitulation of the biological and cultural history of humankind. According to Hall, the child repeats cultural evolution in his or her play.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hall’s theory that mental growth proceeds by evolutionary stages is best expressed in one of his largest and most important works, Adolescence (1904).
Detailed explanation-3: -Hall believed that a child’s nature should guide educational practices so children could become healthy, productive members of society. Overall, Hall’s in-person presentations started the movement for the U.S. to integrate psychological and scientific studies within educational endeavors.
