Urie Bronfenbrenner (April 29, 1917 – September 25, 2005) was a Russian-born American psychologist best known for developing a contextual framework for studying human development [1]. This framework was formalized in an article published in American Psychologist [2], articulated in a series of propositions and hypotheses in his most cited book The Ecology of Human Development [3] and further articulated in The Bioecological Model of Human Development [4] and later writings. He argued that natural experiments, including applied research and policy provided valuable scientific opportunities [2] and was instrumental in the design of the US Head Start program in 1965.[5] Bronfenbrenner's writings about the limitations of understanding child development solely from experimental laboratory research and the potential for using contextual variability to provide insight into developmental processes [3] was important in changing the focus of developmental psychology.[5]
