Genetic determinism agrees that children's intelligence and personality quality have been determined in the genes of germ cells. The role of environment is to only trigger, promote or delay the self-expansion of innate quality, and the other is that it cannot change its essence. Gao Erdun is the founder of genetic determinism. He clearly declared: "A person's ability is hereditary, and its degree is determined by heredity, just as the shape and body tissue of all living things are determined by heredity." Hall, one of the pioneers of American psychology and the first president of American Psychological Association, typically said that "one inheritance is better than one ton of education", while gesell advocated "maturity theory". The fatal weakness of genetic determinism is that it overemphasizes the role of congenital inheritance and ignores the role of acquired environment and education in children's psychological development.
