which approach is nature or nurture Flashcards
is the behaviourist approach nature or nurture
nurture, because it is a consequence of our interactions with the environment and the consequences of our behaviour within that environment
is the social learning theory nature or nurture
primarily nurture in that some people learn as a result of observing others. However, it is generally assumed that the capacity to learn from an observation of others has some adaptive value, therefore is likely to be innate and so nature
is the cognitive approach nature or nurture
both nature and nurture, as thought processes may be a product of innate factors or our experiences. We all share the same means of cognitive processing (nature), but problems may arise when people develop irrational thoughts and beliefs as a result of their experiences (nurture)
is the biological approach nature or nurture
primarily nature, the biological system such as CNS and the endocrine system are products of innate factors (nature). However, experience may modify these systems, e.g. Maguire et al study of London taxi drivers, which found structural changes in the brain as a result of having to learn to navigate Londons complex road layout
is the psychodynamic approach nature or nurture
both nature and nurture, the psychodynamic approach focus on the nature side of human behaviour in the uncurious forces (e.g. the demands of the id) and conflicts that we must all deal with. However, how we cope with theses is in a large way a product of our upbringing (nurture)
is the humanistic approach nature or nurture
both nature and nurture, the humanistic approach makes various assumptions about human nature, e.g. our dice to self-actualise (nature). However, it also acknowledges the problems in achieving self-actualisation that arise from our experiences and upbringing, e.g. our experience of conditional positive regard and conditions of worth (nurture)
