Task 1: Tools for Learning
The issues relating to the nature nurture debate is possibly one of the oldest theory debates in psychology (Bee 2004). Whilst nature refers to an individual inherited or innate qualities, genes and traits nurture in contrast refers to personal experience, and the environment for example although an individual maybe genetically tall if childhood was a time of malnourishment this could result in being short due to failure in growth. Bee (2004) however suggests that children’s learning and development are due to the influences of both nature and nurture, as we grow our biology program is to learn our social and physical environment provides stimulation for this to be successful. This essay aims to consider two areas often debated in more in detail first language, second intelligence to identify how nature and nurture influence these.
Chomsky (1965) Proposed that language is innate, skinner believed that language was learnt from other people that you spend most of your time with. Galton (1883) was convinced intellectual abilities were largely inherited and the tendency for a genius runs in the family, Jensen (2002) agreed with this taking it further reporting that intelligence is 80% inherited. Skinner (1957) for example suggested repetition and showing positive signs of encouragement are more likely to develop intellect and is evident in practice with lessons such as phonics which repeat letter sounds and formation in order that children can practice and repeat the sounds with adults using positive reinforcement to encourage the desired behaviours this is known as operant
