Question 1 [40]
1.1 According to Piaget, cognitive development is a progressive reorganisation of
mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental
experience. This view sparked the nature versus nurture debate about the
development of cognition. When I prompted ChatGPT about these two conflicting
views on the literacy development of young children, it generated the following
response: The nature vs. nurture debate in the context of literacy development in
young children is a longstanding and complex topic in developmental psychology
and education. It centres around the question of whether children’s reading and
writing abilities are primarily influenced by their innate biological factors (nature)
or shaped by their environment, experiences, and social interactions (nurture). In
reality, literacy development is a result of the interplay between both nature and
nurture. Let’s explore both:
1. Nature (Innate factors):
• Genetic predispositions: Some children may have a genetic predisposition that
makes them more receptive to learning language and literacy skills. For instance,
certain genetic traits might affect their ability to process phonetic information or
grasp grammar rules more easily.
• Neurological factors: Brain development plays a crucial role in literacy
acquisition. Some children might have neurological differences that affect their
language processing and reading skills. For example, difficulties in phonological
awareness, which is the ability to identify and manipulate sounds in spoken
language, can impact reading readiness.
• Biological maturation: As children grow, their brains undergo biological changes
that support various aspects of literacy, such as memory, attention, and information
processing. These changes can influence how well and how quickly they acquire
reading and writing skills.
2. Nurture (Environmental factors):
• Home environment: A rich and stimulating home environment, including
exposure to books, reading aloud, and engaging in literacy-related activities, can
foster early CHL2601/ASSESSMENT 6/2024 7 literacy skills. Children who grow
