Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment Interaction
The interaction between heredity and environment in child development is extremely complex. According to Robert Plomin, 'Gene-Environment Correlation' (rGE) types include passive, reactive, and active.
- Active rGE: Often termed 'niche-picking', it occurs when individuals actively seek out or create environments that correspond to their genetic predispositions.
- Epigenetics: It alters gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence permanently.
