Microgenetic theory and methods, associated principally with the work of Werner, Vygotsky, and Luria, have a complex and insufficiently known history and a confused identity in contemporary usage. A historically based account of the rationales behind microgenetic methodology, and an analysis of some recent uses and misuses of the notion of microgenesis, leads to a reappraisal of its utility for contemporary developmental theory and research.
