The Impact of Biology and Culture on Child Development Theory and Research
Оглавление>> LQ 2.3 What role do neuropsychology, genetics, and culture play in the study of child development?
We have described many of the major theories that drive research on children’s development. In this section, we describe major factors that are not theories, but still play a very large role in the type of research carried out in the field of child development. All aspects of development interact with our basic biology, including our brain and our genes. We first describe the impact that new technological advances have had on our understanding of the role of biology in development. The second factor is the role that culture plays in determining the goals and practices that bring about specific outcomes for children around the world.
