PartialPartial Question 1 8 / 20 pts Read the following text and use the information to answer the questions below. NATURE Vs NURTURE The nature versus nurture debate involves the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e., genetic) or acquired (i.e., 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 learning on an individual. The two positions about this debate fell in the past into two extreme positions: Nativism and 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 learn or do is a result of that pre program that was inherited by our genetic system. Examples of an extreme nature positions in psychology include Chomsky (1965), who proposed language is gained through the use of an innate language acquisition device. Another example 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 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 learnt 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

Question 4 Not yet graded^ / 50^ pts Your Answer: Now, write a summary paragraph about the article in Section I. Nature and nurture have two extreme positions in the past: Nativism and Empiricism. The first position have an idea that everything is in our genes. An example about of extreme nature position have the psychology Chomsky, who proposed language is gained through the use of an innate language acquisition device. Another example about nature is Freud's theory of aggression as being an innate drive. Other spectrum are the environmentalist, know as empiricist. The idea here is that every behavior or skill is learned through our relation with the things around us. But in practice, hardly anyone today accepts either of extreme positions because there are simply too many "facts" on both sides of the argument which are inconsistent with an "all or nothing" view. That is to say, given the heredity and enviroment both influence the person we become.
