The Nature Nurture Debate in Child Development

This report discusses the impact of nature and nurture on child development through case studies of Isabelle and Genie. It explores how nurture can help in cognitive and linguistic development. The report also highlights the importance of attention and learning abilities in child development.

INTRODUCTION
Psychology is defined as the aspect which is well suitable in order to analyse the someone
perception and their perspective. In addition, the report usually consists of two case study named
Isabelle and Genie. Isabelle have issue with their development where the growing factor
contributed with the late response which may show the impact in term of growth and
development (De la Cerda, Humphreys, and Ulloa, 2018). With the use of proper training and
learning program Isabelle used to learn about the various aspect. In addition, the other case study
is well related with the Genie where the evaluation seeks the information which is related with
the issue of cognitive and linguistic problem. in this report, the major discussion is used to follow
which show the context which is well related with the cognitive and linguistic abilities of the
Isabelle and Genie which can usually developed by the nurture (Gentner, and Leppert, 2019).
MAIN BODY
In the context with the Isabelle, it is well determined that the issue which is associated with
Isabelle is usually show the late response or delay response in the development of the cognitive
factor and other linked factor such as social and so on. The nurture is used to taken which is
generally helpful for the Isabelle which is enable by implementing a systematic and skilful
programme or training. In addition, the nature and nurture are usually interacting in order to
synthesise the cognitive development. The nature is also defined with the concept of brain
development that is follow with the context of brain development with the connection with body.
It helps to provide the behaviour which is showing the aspect which provide the ability that they
help to perceive (Immordino-Yang, Darling-Hammond, and Krone, 2019). Therefore, nurture
also show their adaptation behaviour which is well related with the children in the term of
response which usually show the demand of the environment in such a way which usually
provide the aspect which meet the requirement of own goals. Therefore, the Isabelle usually
provide the context which show the development which is reached at normal level. The
educational development between the one and three year show the continuous approach with the
time and developed the stage of learning and with the vision of entering school she develops
cognitive and linguistic approach with the use of nurture which is provided by skilful programme
(Imperiale, 2021).

With the contrast with the Genie, the situation is drastic due the behaviour of living. The support
and attention is well required by Genie in order to make the care with the help of nurture which
may show the relevance in the term of development and growth. For instance, Genie show the
late and delay response for their growth and activity which may affect the cognitive development
as well as linguistic development. In addition, after the proper support and care she used to adopt
the vocabulary over the one hundred words. There are various of study was conducted which is
related with the measurement and accountability of the brain activity (Nguyen, and Cutting,
2021). With the Genie, the both side of the brain are usually show their involvement in the
participation or completion of task, therefore, some of the task is showing the factor which
required electrical activity on the right side of the brain and show some of the aspect which is
well related with the activity on the left side of the brain. Whereas, Genie is usually show the
aspect that is particularly good and confident with the those which is usually involve with the
right brain. The nurture may provide the contrast and growth for the Genie where she develops
the linguistic approach which is well related with the factor of development. The persistent
learning and continuous approach which act as catalyst to trigger the cognitive development
focus on the growth (Pike, 2019).
CONCLUSION
As per the above discussion, it is well analysing that the issue is usually related with the delay
response of the Isabelle and Genie toward the action due to the context of unsupported behaviour
for the growth and develop. The attention and learning abilities is analysing with the case study
which show the aspect where they used to learn vocabulary and show the instant action regards
with the task.
