Solutions

Expert Solution

The nature-nurture debate with respect to the development of intelligence has long been under contention among psychologist. However, most researchers now agree that intelligence as a construct is influenced by both, biological and environmental variables. Biological factors include genetic predispositions and traits that parents pass on to their offsprings. In addition to inherited characteristics, other biological factors such as maternal age, prenatal exposure to harmful substances and prenatal malnutrition may also influence intelligence. However, a child may be born with genes for brightness, but if that child grows up in a deprived environment where he is malnourished and lacks access to educational opportunities, he/she is likely to exhibit lower intellectual capacities. Therefore. social and cultural influences such actors such as family, education, enriched social environments, and peer groups have all been linked to differences in IQ.
