Environmental Shaping of Intelligence

An alternative perspective to genetic determinism is that intelligence is significantly shaped by a child's developmental environment. Proponents of this view argue that providing children with intellectual stimuli, starting even before birth, allows them to absorb the benefits of this enrichment. This early stimulation is believed to be reflected in their subsequent intelligence levels.
