Detailed Explanation
Both heredity and environment are essential in child development. According to psychologists and geneticists, heredity provides an individual with potential capacities, while the environment determines the extent of the actualization of those capacities. As supported by thinkers like Woodworth, development is neither solely the result of heredity nor solely of the environment, but rather their interaction (Development = Heredity × Environment).
