Growth and development depend on an intricate interplay among heredity and enviormental influences( both nature and nurture)What are some examples of these influences.
Heredity directs that we will walk, run, jump, manipulate objects, and speak. When and to what extent we accomplish these developmental tasks depends at least partly on environmental influences. For instance, infants in an instutional setting may be delayed in some motor development skills. For instance, a 6-month-old Vietnamese child I know had weak back muscles, probably because he wasn't allowed to crawl or have much movement in the orphanage. However, after he was adopted by an American family, his back muscles quickly developed because he had more freedom of movement here.
