The concept of reaction range suggests that genetics sets the potential range for traits like intelligence, but environment determines where within that range an individual falls. Jake's environment, characterized by fewer enriching activities, makes it less likely he would be near the upper limit of his reaction range compared to Jeremy, who has a more stimulating environment.
