Heredity & Environment
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 26 times
In the context of the relative effects of heredity and environment on development, based on modern developmental psychology and research findings of behavioral geneticists like Robert Plomin, which of the following statements expresses the most scientific and authentic perspective?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In the field of child development, the relationship between 'heredity and environment' is not an isolated or additive factor, but a complex interactive process. According to prominent geneticists, heredity provides us with certain potentials or a 'reaction range', while our environment determines which end of that range an individual will reach. Thus, both complement each other.
