Question

Henry believes that because he and his wife are quite intelligent that their offspring will also be intelligent. Rather than starting to save for his future child's education immediately, he believes that enriched educational experiences do not matter and that his child will not need extensive education in order to develop high levels of intelligence. What cause of intelligence does Henry seem to endorse?

Answer 1

Answer:

Intelligence is provided entirely by genetic factors.

Explanation:

Intelligence represents a complex trait that factors of genetics and environment influence. This is why it is a difficult phenomenon to study, and the majority of definitions indicate that intelligence consists of the skills to learn from events in life and the adaptation to unstable environments. This consists of reasoning, planning, solving problems, and understanding complex ideas. So, in this case, Henry is just focusing on the genetic factor of intelligence.
