Watson) all action and behavior are result of conditioning • Watson believed that an individual can be trained and learn anything regardless of their genetic background. • Example • sports ( athleticism vs support system) • academic achievement ( inherited intelligence or enrich environment • a child who bullies classmates ( violent tendencies or learned behavior from his parent) • biologically determined characteristics (nature) • eye color, hair color, skin color, • height, body composition (can be influence by lifestyle and environmental factors) • *Albert bandura – Social Learning Theory – the bobo doll experiment; people learn through observing other • * Nativist (Plato and Descartes) things are inborn; naturally occur due to inheritance regardless of environmental influence; behavior and characteristics are influence by inheritance; results of evolution where traits are handed down from parents that influences individual differences that makes a person unique • *Noam Chomsky (language acquisition device –LAD) all children are born with capacity to learn and produce language • Biopsychology - how neurotransmitter influence behavior (nature side) • social psychology – how peer pressure and social media influence behavior (nurture side) • Epigenetics • Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. • epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence. • *Gene expression refers to how often or when proteins are created from the instructions within your genes. • While genetic changes can alter which protein is made, epigenetic changes affect gene expression to turn genes “on”( demethylation) and “off” (methylation) • • Since your environment and behaviors, such as diet and exercise, can result in epigenetic changes, it is easy to see the connection between your genes and your behaviors and environment. • Interactions • perfect pitch and height (nature and nurture interaction) • Contemporary views • eugenics ( nativist approach); good birth ; Francis Galton and Charles Darwin; believed that good genes produce better society by understanding genetic traits and societal success. • critics notion – violates human right and may remove desirable traits from a population; affects wealth, morality, and mental health • • recent studies are interested in investigating how nature and nurture interact • Abangan ang mga sumusunod na talakayan sa pagpapayabong ng kaalaman • • LIKE.
