The held works treat Child (1941) as a historical source for gradient thinking in development. Durant et al. list "Child's gradient model" among the historical models, alongside Spemann's organizer and Wolpert's positional information, that preceded modern gradient models of planarian regeneration. Ball, discussing Turing's references, describes Child's books on embryonic patterning, alongside Waddington's, as essentially experimental work. The passages do not describe the book's content in detail.

This idea was further developed in a series of historical models, including Child's gradient model (Child 1941), Spemann's organizer concept
