Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment in Child Development
Robert Woodworth's equation Development = (Heredity $\times$ Environment) highlights that development is not a result of addition, but an interaction of both factors.
- Heredity: Provides the biological blueprint, innate potentials, and sets the upper and lower limits of an individual's capacities.
- Environment: Determines to what extent and within what limits those innate potentials will actually be realized and manifested.
Therefore, both factors are mutually interdependent and function as co-factors in holistic child development.
