Document Summary
Psyc 3490 adult development & aging lecture 2. Chapter 2 - models of development: nurture in adulthood. Chapter 3 the study of adult development and aging: research methods. Interaction: genes and environment are not completely separate, nature and nurture work together. It is possible they provide some musical genes that result in an interest in music in the child but the parents provide the environment that allows their child to be exposed and involved in music. It is considered passive because the child does not actively choose environment, parents do: evocative correlation seen in adolescenes. The baby in some way evokes a certain response: active correlation seen in young adults/adults, have a certain type of genetic predisiposition, e. g. If an adult is into athletics, they might themselves seek, engage and participate in atheletics. It is considered active because the person goes and seeks the environment on their own.
