Heredity & Environment
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 30 times
In the context of child development, regarding the interaction between heredity and environment, what does Robert Woodworth's well-known equation 'Development = (Heredity × Environment)' scientifically demonstrate?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The role of heredity and environment is extremely important among the factors influencing child development in psychology. According to psychologist Robert Woodworth, development is neither solely the result of heredity nor solely of the environment, but rather the product of continuous interaction between the two. This is why it is represented as a multiplicative equation, as the effect of both works as complementary to each other.
