Developmental Psychology
Genes & Environment
Nature vs. Nurture – Development is influenced by both genetic inheritance (nature) and environmental experiences (nurture).
Genetic Inheritance – Traits like intelligence, personality, and mental health disorders can be influenced by genetics.
Epigenetics – Environmental factors like stress, nutrition, and exposure to toxins can affect how genes are expressed without changing the DNA itself.
Prenatal Environment – A mother’s health, nutrition, and exposure to drugs or toxins can impact a baby’s brain development.
Early Childhood Experiences – Cognitive and emotional growth are shaped by parenting, education, and social interactions.
Socioeconomic Factors – Access to resources like healthcare, education, and nutrition can influence developmental outcomes.
Gene-Environment Interaction – Some genetic traits may only appear under certain environmental conditions (e.g., a child with a genetic predisposition for high intelligence may need a stimulating environment to reach their full potential).
