✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment in Human Development
Woodworth's equation $\text{Development} = \text{Heredity} \times \text{Environment}$ signifies that human development is not a result of addition, but a complex product of both factors working together dynamically.
- Heredity: Sets the biological boundaries, potential limits, and genetic blueprint of an individual.
- Environment: Determines to what extent and how effectively those biological potentials are actualized.
Therefore, heredity establishes the maximum ceiling, while environment dictates the level of realization within that framework.
