Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Heredity and Environment in Child Development
The interaction between heredity and environment is a crucial concept in child development. According to the perspective given by Robert Woodworth, development is neither solely the result of heredity nor solely of environment, but rather a multiplicative interaction of both.
- Heredity: Determines the biological and potential limits of an individual.
- Environment: Determines how much development will actually take place within those predefined limits.
Therefore, option B accurately describes this multiplicative dynamic in psychological science.
