Extraordinary Cases in psychology: Part 2 of 4 - The wild boy of Aveyron
22/11/2008
In 1800, a young boy emerged from the woods of the Aveyron District in France, naked and wild. He became a scientific enigma to influential psychologist Dr Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard, and redefined the nature vs. nurture debate. His legacy lives on today, especially in the Montessori approach to learning.
