WE INHERIT NOTHING AND ALL
BEHAVIOUR IS ACQUIRED AS A
CONSEQUENCE OF EXPERIENCE
1920s
SKINNERS BOX AND PAVLOV'S DOGS (EXPERIMENTS)
SHOWED HOW BEHAVIOUR CAN BE CLASSICALLY AND
OPERANTLY CONDITIONED
SOCIAL LEARNING
THEORISTS
DEMONSTRATE THE
IMPORTANCE OF
MODELLING AND
CONSEQUENT MEDIA
INFLUENCES ON OUR
BEHAVIOUR.
STRONG POTENTIAL FOR LEARNING
EVEN IN SOME OF OUR BASIC
BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES SUCH AS
VISUAL PERCEPTION
HELD
AND
HEIN'S
CAROUSEL
KITTENS
1980s
MEN ARE TAUGHT TO
RESPOND MORE
AGGRESSIVELY THAN
WOMEN
THE BRAIN
STRUCTURE HAS
CHANGED AS A
RESPONSE TO
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
TRIGGER THE EXPRESSION OF THE
DISORDER SUCH AS
SCHIZOPHRENIA
EXPRESSIONS OF
GENES ARE ALSO
DETERMINED BY THE
ENVIRONMENT
NUTRITION
STIMULATION
EXPERIENCE
A YOUNG MALE
LEARNS A SONG BY
LISTENING TO AND
COPYING ADULT
MALES
WITHOUT
LEARNING HE
DOES NOT SING
THE PARTICULAR
SONG OF HIS
SPECIES
NATURE
NATURE REFERS TO
INHERITED
CHARACTERISTICS
ALL OUR BEHAVIOUR IS
DERIVEN BY OUR
GENETIC INHERITANCE
AND BIOLOGY
TRACE THE
EVOLUTION OF
THE SPECIES
THROUGH TIME
USING FOSSIL
RECORDS
HOW MUCH OF OUR
BEHAVIOUR WAS
DRIVEN THROUGH
EVOLUTIONARY NEEDS
DRIVE TO SEXUALLY REPRODUCE
CHANGE TO THE
ADAPTING
ENVIRONMENT
PRESERVE RESOURCES
GIFTED CHILDREN CAME FROM GIFTED PARENTS
IT MAY BE OUR BIOLOGY THAT DETERMINED OUR INTELLIGENCE
DARWIN'S THEORY
DEVELOPMENT
OF
GENETIC
SCIENCES
SOME OF OUR BEHAVIOUR IS IN OUR GENES
ADDICTION
MENTAL ILLNESSES
GENETICS PLAY A PART
THEY CANNOT TELL US
EVERYTHING
HIGH
PROPORTION OF
BEHAVIOURS CAN
BE TRACED BACK
TO EVOLUTIONARY
GENETICS
SOME HORMONES AND
EVOLUTIONARY DRIVES MAY MAKE
SOME MEN MORE AGGRESSIVE
GENETIC BASIS FOR
MANY ABNORMAL
DISORDERS
INTELLIGENCE IS A
COMPLEX SET OF
SKILLS THAT ARE
PARTIALLY
DETERMINED BY
GENETIC FACTORS
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SINGING ABILITIES
REQUIRES THE GENETIC PROGRAM THAT
PREPARES SOMEONE TO LEARN A SONG AND
PREPARES THEM TO NOTICE AND ACT UPON
THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE OF HEARING THE
SONG
BOTH
WE ARE BORN WITH SCHEMA WHICH WE THEN
DEVELOP DEPENDING ON THE RICHNESS OF OUR
EXPERIENCES
THERE ARE INTERCTIONS BETWEEN NATURE AND NURTURE
NEITHER NATURE OR NURTURE INDIVIDUALLY CAUSES DYSFUNCTION
