Abstract
Following the tenets of a theory of development which accords culture a fundamental constituting role in creating human development, this paper proposes a critical approach to the application of research by developmental psychologists. After sketching the sociohistorical context within which developmental research is currently being conducted, a concept of culture derived from agricultural metaphors that run deep in the English language is introduced. These general considerations are followed by an example of basic/applied research in the author's own community. ∗
