Question Options:

C. continuity position.
D. discontinuity position.
Answer: Dr. Perry would be considered a proponent of the NATURE POSITION.
Nature here refers to the innate characteristics of a thing. What something will tend by its own constitution, to be or do. Distinct from what might be expected or intended. It is opposed to nurture.
Dr. Perry is considered a proponent of the nature position because “nature” proponents claim that the more important influence on development is biological inheritance (who our parents are) rather than environmental influences (Nurture).
