Document Summary

Genes x environment: nature and nurture are inextricably entwined, impossible to separate genetic in uences from, they can work together to determine human behaviour environmental in uences, epigenetics. Heredity vs. heritability: heredity - the genetic transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring, eg. Ada might say hat she inherited her blue eyes from her: heritability - an estimate of the genetic proportion of the variation. Dad in some speci c trait: within a particular population (not individuals) environmental in uences. Remember: behaviour is determined by multiple (interacting) factors: behavior is exceedingly complex, single-cause explanations may be accurate, but they are generally always incomplete factors, heredity, biology, environment, culture. The nervous system is the body"s electrochemical communication circuitry: personality -> behaviour. The nervous system: central nervous system (cns, peripheral nervous system (cps, somatic nervous system, autonomic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, behaviour is governed by a complex network of interacting.
