RESUMEN
|
Human development is shaped by dynamic transactions between genes and environments –genetic and environmental influences that can be independent or correlated, and additive or interactive in their effects. These effects cannot be elucidated without understanding how these transactions may be operating throughout the lifespan. The focus in developmental science has shifted toward testing models of how genes and environments work together to create human variability, as part of a much broader trend toward investigating biological and environmental factors in brain growth, functioning, and plasticity. In the current chapter, we present research investigating the interplay between nature and nurture in early childhood development. We begin with an overview of the techniques used to ascertain genetic and environmental influences, and then turn to a description of what we know about the etiology of individual differences. We concentrate on the domains of physical development, cognitive and language skills, temperament, and the early signs of developing psychopathology. In addition, we consider recent developments in the study of gene–Environment processes and molecular genetics, as they apply to early childhood. Human genes and environments share remarkable similarities across populations. Indeed, humans share much of their genotype with many other species. However, there also is awesome
