Document Summary
W e d n e s d a y , s e p t e m b e r 3 0 t h , 2 0 1 5 | 1. Keep in mind our discussion about scarr and mccartney"s genotype effects (passive, active, evocative) Developmental psychology has been influenced by the nature vs nurture debate. The basic question is does what you"re born with genetically influence how you develop more than the environment that you"re born into? . This ties into our questions about wayne gretzky and mozart how much has to do with genetic influence and how much has to do with genetic inheritance and the way we"re nurtured. Keep in mind the genotype is expressed through the phenotype so we"re talking about what triggers a specific phenotype. It is also important to consider maturation and experience. Simply put, what causes a child to exhibit specific behaviours, characteristics and gifts. Maturation is development according to the genotype.
