Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contemporary developmentalists focus on how nature and nurture interact to affect development. They recognize that both nature (genetics) and nurture (environment and experiences) are important determinants of developmental change and seek to understand the mechanisms by which they interact. They do not focus solely on whether one is more important than the other or why one might be more influential at certain developmental periods.
