CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nature refers largely to our genetics. It includes the genes we are born with and other hereditary factors that can impact how our personality is formed and influence the way that we develop from childhood through adulthood. Nurture encompasses the environmental factors that impact who we are.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are some examples of nature vs. nurture? Eye color and skin pigmentation are examples of “nature” because they are present at birth and determined by inherited genes. Language and having a regional accent are learned after birth and occur through “nurture."

Detailed explanation-3: -In summary, based on several studies and research it can be concluded that human behaviour is both nature and nurture. In addition, evidence also supports that animal behaviour specifically (grizzly bears) is also due to nature and nurture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Behavioral genetics has enabled psychology to quantify the relative contribution of nature and nurture with regard to specific psychological traits. One way to do this is to study relatives who share the same genes (nature) but a different environment (nurture).

Detailed explanation-5: -Fast-growing understanding of the human genome has made it clear that both sides of the debate have merit. Nature endows us with inborn abilities and traits. Nurture takes these genetic tendencies and molds them as we learn and mature.
