Theories Of Nature Vs Nurture

Introduction

In the history of psychology, the nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest argument in psychology. Nature and nurture have their own good sides but it's really hard to identify whether a person develops majority of the genetic or a majority of its influence by the environment and the experience in life. As we know that, nature and nurture are very crucial in part of the human development. Nowadays, there are 5 major perspectives in psychology which can help to explain the evolution of human behaviour around nature and nurture.

For nature, each individual is different from each other since their parents passed their own genetic traits to the generation which allows everyone to be unique (Kendra Cherry, 2016). For

(Kendra Cherry, 2016). For an instance, a child might learn from observation and reinforcement to say 'sorry' and 'thank you’. On the other hand, some of us will argues that the intelligence falls on the nurture side which people will investigate the child’s educational background and how their parents raise them will affect their academic results. The development of personality is one of the example in nurture.As we can see that, children have similarities with their parents meaning to say the children personality influence by their parents but not the genetic. Other than that, homosexuality bringing up the argument in today's society, people believe that homosexual is influence by the negative environment such as parents divorce, causing people to become homosexual. Besides that, environmental factors also include the way people participate with their parents, their socioeconomic status, their peer group or their situation at work and others influences from outside

It includes 3 processes, namely encoding which involves processes that determine can control how memories are formed; storage where how memories are stored and kept over time are determined; and retrieval, which determines and controls how memories are recovered and processed into actions (Naime, 2014).

Perception is an individual’s sensory experience of the world which involves both physical senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, and proprioception) as well as cognitive processes involved in interpreting those senses (Cherry, 2016).

Language has attracted the attention of psychologists since back in the 1870’s when Carl Wernicke proposed a model for the mental processing of language (Temple, 1997). Current research and work on language varies widely, ranging from language acquisition (Conti-Ramsden & Durkin, 2012) and correlation between language and mood (Egidi & Nusbaum, 2012), among others.

From the above processes, we can see that cognitive approach innate mental structures such as schemas, perception, and memory, and is constantly changing to adapt to the environment. Therefore, cognitive approach does not belong to only one aspect, but both nature and nurture aspects of
