1, genetic determinism agrees that children's intelligence and personality quality have been determined in the genes of germ cells. The role of environment is to only trigger, promote or delay the self-expansion of innate quality, and the other is that it cannot change its essence. Gao Erdun is the founder of genetic determinism. He clearly declared: "A person's ability is hereditary, and its degree is determined by heredity, just as the shape and body tissue of all living things are determined by heredity."

2. Environmental determinism, on the other hand, unilaterally and mechanically emphasizes the role of environment and education in children's psychological development, holding that children's psychological development is completely determined by the environment, attaches great importance to the role of environment and education in human development, and denies people's subjective initiative, genetic quality and children's age characteristics.

3. The role of education in psychological development is complicated. On the one hand, because education is a bilateral activity between educators and educatees, educators should stimulate the psychological activities of educatees and make them actively accept the influence of education; On the other hand, there are individual differences among the educated, and educators should consider these differences and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

A person's innate quality, although it has certain influence on the formation, is not decisive. Brave, decisive, organized and innovative people can be cultivated from people with different nerve types. But to develop a person's personality and quality correctly and perfectly as soon as possible is mainly achieved through good education.

In a word, psychological development is closely related to education. With the help of the contents and methods of education, the words and deeds of educators and the educational situation, it stimulates and induces the psychological occurrence and development of the educated, and forms various abilities and personality characteristics.

Extended data:

Inheritance and maturity really play an important role in children's psychological development. But it must be clear that heredity and physical maturity are only the material premise of children's psychological development, which only provides the possibility of children's psychological development, not reality.

For ordinary normal children, whether the psychology can develop, in what direction, at what speed and level, is not determined by heredity and maturity, but by environment and education, in which education plays a leading role. As we know, psychology is the reflection of objective reality by human brain. Obviously, it is impossible to form a person's psychology only with the material premise of producing psychology and without the influence of objective reality.

This can be explained by all kinds of animals feeding human big babies, such as wolf children, Xiong Haizi, leopards and so on. Kamala is an Indian wolf child, who was taken away by wolves shortly after his birth and lived in a wolf environment for seven or eight years. When she was found, she could only walk on all fours, not sleeping during the day and moving at night. Instead of holding the food with her hands, she put it on the ground and tore it open with her teeth.
