A child who is adopted by parents who are not frequent readers keeps showing an interest in reading. Eventually, the adoptive parents respond by getting the child a library card and reading along with the child to help him. This is an example of one factor that has been proposed as a limitation to the behaviour genetics approach. The factor that best fits here is $\qquad$
gene-environment correlation
gene-environment interaction
environmental impact on genetic expression
high heritability of reading skill and interest

***A*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Gene-environment correlation⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Gene-environment correlation occurs when an individual's genetic predispositions influence the environment they are exposed to. In this case, the child's interest in reading (a genetic predisposition) leads the adoptive parents to provide a supportive reading environment.⚹◊How can gene-environment correlation impact behavior genetics studies in the context of reading interest and skill development?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
