developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer
to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at
birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born
with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring
environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and
varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at
birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his
environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number
of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are
born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they
are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at
random(任意的) from the population,
it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely
different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will
very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and
sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this
clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different
environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a
factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence
developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays
a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live
in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to
have similar degrees of intelligence.
