Appendix (pedagogy)

In education and developmental psychology, the term ` ` attachment '' describes the genetic prerequisites of a person that lead to certain social behavior under given environmental conditions.

The influence of the faculties on human behavior, on the development of intelligence , on the development of temperament or the ability to acquire language is discussed in the Facility-Environment-Problem. It is controversial to what extent innate abilities or environmental influences such as upbringing , social position or education affect behavior. Approaches to clarifying this question can be found in twin research , in comparative behavioral research or in psychopathology .

In contrast to unchangeable dispositions that exist from birth, the terms disposition and constitution refer to the current status of an individual and also contain changeable characteristics.
