(1) Heredity
The so-called heredity refers to the physiological and anatomical characteristics inherited from the previous generation. Characteristics of the body's structure, form, sensory and nervous systems, etc. These physiological characteristics are also called genetic qualities. Genetic quality plays an important role in human development, which is reflected in the following points: First, it is the prerequisite for human physical and mental development and provides the possibility for individual physical and mental development. For example, having a healthy body is a prerequisite for becoming an athlete.
Second, differences in genetic quality have a certain impact on people's physical and mental development, but genetic quality is malleable. In other words, genetic quality can affect the development of an individual, but it does not play a decisive role. Through some acquired efforts (such as prenatal education), genetic quality can be appropriately changed.
Third, the mature mechanism of genetic quality restricts the level and stage of human physical and mental development, providing possibilities and limitations for the emergence of physical and mental characteristics at a certain age. For example, it is okay to ask children in the first grade of junior high school to do decimal division, but it is impossible to ask kindergarten children to do the same problem. This is due to the possibilities and limitations provided by the individual physical and mental maturity mechanisms.
(2) Environment
The so-called environment refers to all external factors that affect the physical and mental development of individuals, mainly including the natural environment and social environment. The environment plays an impact on people's physical and mental development, mainly in the following ways:
First, it provides various possibilities for individual development. Such as opportunities, conditions and objects.
Second, it is the external objective conditions for human physical and mental development. The environment makes the development possibilities provided by genetics become a reality. For example, if a child with musical talent is born into a musical family, this child becomes The possibilities for musicians will be much greater.
Third, when people accept the influence of the environment, they are not passive, but have their own subjective initiative. Therefore, blindly exaggerating, especially environmental determinism, is unscientific and incorrect. .
