Describe the limitations to behavior genetics studies. How do these limitations impact the types of conclusions that we can draw from behavior genetics studies?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. There are three limitations that are important to consider in behavior genetic studies:
2. Genes influence environments.
3. Gene-environment interaction occurs.
4. Environments influence gene expression.
5. The impact on conclusions drawn means that we must always consider the role of both the environment and genetics in understanding development. The constant, bidirectional processes that occur must always be considered when explaining development.
