Abstract
An attempt to define issues in the nature-nurture controversy by listing 14 statements about hereditary and environmental influences. These statements are judged true or false. The principal viewpoint is that only differences in traits are hereditary or environmental. "Comparative ease of learning" should be used as a criterion of hereditary influence rather than "development without learning.".This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
