NATURE Vs NURTURE [The nature versus nurture debate involves the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (.e., genetic) or acquired (ie., learned) influences. [Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and ‘other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors, after conception, e.g., the product of exposure, life experiences and leaming on an individual. [The two positions about this debate fell in the past into two extreme positions: Nativism land Empiricism. [The first position deals with the idea that everything is in our genes, like a set of |preprogrammed system. So since the moment we are born, everything that we lea or {do is a result of that pre program that was inherited by our genetic system. Examples of lan extreme nature positions in psychology include Chomsky (1965), who proposed language is gained through the use of an innate language acquisition device. Another lexample of nature is Freud's theory of aggression as being an innate drive (called (Thanatos). |At the other end of the spectrum are the environmentalists — also known as empiricists (not to be confused with the other empirical / scientific approach). Their basic, ‘assumption is that at birth the human mind is a tabula rasa (a blank slate) and that this is gradually “filled” as a result of experience (e.g., Behaviorism).The idea here is that hitpssicpna intructure.comlcourses/11686"/quizzesi705105 2181423, 11.26 AM |ARW - Mlgtorm Exam: Virwal 202808 Avanzada 10 10:30-12:00, every behavior or skill is learned through our relation with the things around us. An example of this position can be Bandura's (1977) social learning theory, which states that aggression is learned from the environment through observation and imitation. ‘Also, Skinner (1957) believed that language is leamt from other people via behavior shaping techniques. Freud (1905) stated that events in our childhood have a great influence on our adult lives, shaping our personality. He thought that parenting is of primary importance to a child's development, and the family as the most important feature of nurture was a common theme throughout twentieth-century psychology (which was dominated by environmentalists theories). In practice, hardly anyone today accepts either of the extreme positions. There are simply too many “facts” on both sides of the argument which are inconsistent with an “all or nothing’ view. So instead of asking whether psychological traits are influenced by nature or nurture the question has been reformulated as “How much?" Thats to say, given that heredity and environment both influence the person we become, which is the more important? ‘Adapted from Nature vs. Nurture in Psychology by Saul McLeod 2018. Questions: 1.

These debate has two positions: Nativism and Empiricism, the first one should influence the perspective on nature, as a psychologist proposed that language was innate, meaning that each should have already been included at birth. The second one provided us with an understanding that at birth, we had all our knowledge as a blank cup; it was not innate but rather should be learning, And actually in these days these two position are accepted in some points. hitpssicpna intructure.comlcourses/1 1686 Vquizzesi705185 28
