“…For example, there is some evidence to suggest that the genetic influence on motor development is strong (Illingworth, 1960;Dean, 1957, 1964;Pollak and Mitchell, 1974) and, because in this study motor development appears to be little influenced either by the housing or maternal care, both of which are environmental factors, the results could lend indirect support to this theory.…”

SUMMARY The development of 200 3-year-old children was measured, using Gesell parameters of development. The levels of development were matched against the adequacy, or inadequacy, of maternal care and housing, the scales for which were derived from a questionnaire completed by the children's mothers. Housing was not found to affect the children's developmental levels, while the adequacy of maternal care was highly significantly related to satisfactory child development.
