The
Society for Research in Child Development is a membership association that
advances developmental science and promotes its use to improve human lives. The
field of child development received formal recognition in 1922-23 through the
appointment of a subcommittee on Child Development of the National Research
Council. In 1925, under the direction of Robert S. Woodworth, an eminent
experimental psychologist, this group became the Committee in Child Development
with offices and staff in the National Academy of Sciences. The purpose of the
committee was to integrate research activities and to stimulate research in
child development.
