Question

When examining nature and nurture, the ______ view claims that perceptual development is enhanced from nature, whereas the _______ view claims perceptual development is enhanced by learning and experiences (nurture).
a. nativist; empiricist
b. empiricist; nativist
c. empiricist; constructivist
d. constructivist; nativist

Answer 1

Answer:

A). Nativist; Empiricist.

Explanation:

A nativist view proposes the claim that the 'perceptual development' of humans is highly inflated by the nature. Such a view asserts that humans are born with certain intrinsic ability or skill to develop or learn a language/speech. While the 'empiricist' perspective promotes the idea that human beings and their perceptual developments are more influenced by the external/environmental factors which include a major contribution of 'learning and experiences'. Therefore, the former one encourages the role of 'nature' while the latter promotes the part played by 'nurture' in shaping an individual's 'intuitive/perceptual' development.
