In the context of child development, while analyzing the effects of the interaction between heredity and environment, how does the concept of 'reaction range' indicate that the development of an individual's intellectual capacity is determined by these two factors?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Reaction Range in Child Development
Both heredity and environment play crucial and interdependent roles in child development. The principle of reaction range clarifies that genes establish a potential boundary or range for our development, but where an individual falls within that range (from minimum to maximum potential) depends heavily on environmental quality, nutrition, education, and experiences.
- Heredity: Provides the genetic potential or boundaries.
- Environment: Determines the actual realization of potential within those boundaries.
Therefore, option A accurately reflects this foundational concept in developmental psychology.
