Nature vs Nurture

    Cards (6)

    • behaviourism
      behaviour is learnt through experience (nurture)
    • social learning theory
      behaviour is learnt through the observation and imitation of an identified role model within a social context (nurture)
    • Cognitive approach
      babies are born with a select few innate schemas but develop sophisticated schemas over time (nature + nurture)
    • biological approach

      the activity of genes, hormones and neurotransmitters is inherited
      However epigenetic (external factors) also affects gene expression (mostly nature)
    • humanism
      behaviour is shaped by the environment as humans strive to achieve self actualisation (mostly nurture)
    • psychodynamic
      behaviour is the product of innate drives but shaped by childhood experiences (mostly nature)
