However, the researchers neglected to include into
their research the effects of extra familial
factors (friends, peers, teachers, etc. ) on the
cognitive skills of these children. If these
factors were not overlooked, the research may have

it stands now, it is concluded that the greatest
influence on cognitive development is solely
attributed to genetics. In light of this
particular perspective, t...

person, who centralized his power, structured the
work of his subordinates and di...
