Regarding the interaction between heredity and environment affecting development, which of the following statements is most logical and scientifically valid from the perspective of Robert Woodworth and Anne Anastasi?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
It is an established truth in psychology that development is not a one-sided result of either heredity or environment alone. Psychologists like Woodworth and Anastasi have clarified that the relationship between heredity and environment is not of addition, but of multiplication. This means that both are complementary and interrelated; if the value of either becomes zero, the process of development will also become zero.
