INTRODUCTION
Each of us has his/her own way of looking at our own and
other people’s development. These paradigms of human
development while obviously lacking in
scholastic vigor, provide us with a conceptual framework for
understanding ourselves and others. Scholars have come up
with their own models of human development. Back up by solid
research, they take stand on issues on human development.

ABSTRACTION
31
Are girls less likely to do well
in math because of their
‘feminine’ nature or because
of the society’s “masculine”
bias?
32 (Santrock, 2002)?
How extensively can the
elderly be trained to reason
more effectively? How much,
if at all, does our memory
decline in old age?
33 (Santrock, 2002)?
Can techniques be used to
prevent or reduce the decline
for children who experienced
a world of poverty, neglect by
parents, and poor schooling
in childhood?
34 (Santrock, 2002)?
Can enriched experiences in
adolescence remove the
'deficits' that they
encountered earlier in their
development?
35 (Santrock, 2002)?
What is the
right answer?
36

all nurture, not all continuity or
discontinuity and not all stability or
all change (Lerner, 1998 as
quoted by Santrock, 2002).

Both genes and environment
are necessary for a person
even to exist.
41
Without genes, there is no
person.
Without environment, there is
no person.
(Scarr and Wcinbcrg, 1980, quoted by Santrock, 2002).
42
Heredity and environment
operate together or cooperate
and interact.
