Nutrition, caregiver responsiveness, and learning opportunities are all environmental influences on maturation.
Nutrition, caregiver responsiveness, and learning opportunities are all examples of environmental factors that can influence a child's physical and cognitive development. They are not genetic or innate factors, but rather the external conditions and experiences that can shape a child's growth and maturation. Adequate nutrition, responsive caregiving and sufficient learning opportunities can facilitate child's growth, while the lack of them can hinder it.
