Crick. In 1856 to 1863, Gregor Mendel conducted a series of experiments that lead to his discovery of the fundamental laws of genetics. His research was published in 1866 but it wasn’t fully accepted until three scientists named Erich Tschermak, Hugo de Vries, and Carl Correns in the 1900’s (Study.com, 2015) rediscovered his findings and retested them. He was an Augustinian monk in the Czech Republic and in the gardens at the Monastery was where he experimented on tens of thousands of plants. He mostly

A sensitive period refers to “a special sensibility which a creature acquires in its infantile state" (Montessori, 1966, p.38). Such sensitive periods were first discovered in insects by the Dutch scientist Hugo de Vries, but according to Montessori, can also be found in children and are very important to consider in teaching. Each sensitive period is a "transient disposition and is limited to the acquisition of a particular trait" (Montessori, 1966, p.38). Once the sensitive period is over, the

away. In other words, it reaches its peak and dies away. The concept of Sensitive Periods in a child’s life will remain forever as Dr. Maria Montessori’s greatest discovery. Even though the concept was first used by a famous Dutch biologist, Hugo de Vries in connection with animal development research, Dr. Maria Montessori was the one who found similarities and applied the concept to human development

Neo-Lamarckism Future followers of Lamarck tried to modify Lamarckism in order to make it acceptable, based on the idea of adaptation and an intimate direct and causal relationship between structure, function and environment. Prominent Neo-Lamarckians like Mc Dougall, Giard (1846-1908), Cope (1840-1897), and T.H. Morgan believed that only those characters, which are incorporated into the germplasm, are inherited to the next generation and result in origin of new species. Under Neo-Lamarckism following

SENSITIVE PERIODS Introduction: ‘Sensitive periods’ is a term developed by the Dutch geneticist Hugo de Vries and later used by the Italian educator Maria Montessori. Montessori cites DeVries’ example of a Sensitive Period in the caterpillar of the Prosthesis butterfly. The caterpillar must feed on very tender leaves, and yet the butterfly lays its eggs in the most hidden fork of the branch, near the trunk of the tree. Who will show the little caterpillars hidden there, the moment they leave the

used to treat a number of conditions in humans. This section presents the historical background to the development of gene therapy. Genes as theoretical units of inheritance were first described around 1900 by the botanists Erich von Tschermak, Hugo de Vries, and Carl Correns based on their observations of phenotypic segregation ratios in plants. In 1911, Thomas Hunt Morgan’s studies of sex-linked traits in fruit flies led him to suggest that the genes responsible were carried on the sex chromosomes

The Absorbent Mind and Sensitive Periods Luz Estela Da Silva October 2016 The Absorbent Mind and Sensitive Period Dr Montessori through her method scientific of observation discovered that the education is a spontaneous process carried out by the human being from experiences from his environment. She was observing “what the children need”, thus she thought that if we want to educate for the life we need to start from birth. “We recognise the immense power, the unconscious forces existing
