Discussion
Which statement indicates the most appropriate relationship between learning and maturation in children ?
Answer: B
The most appropriate statement is that maturational readiness is important for learning.
Maturation is the unfolding of growth that is set by heredity, such as the development of the nervous system and muscles. Learning builds on it: a child cannot learn to walk, write or read until the body and brain are ready, however much she is taught. This is the idea of readiness, stressed by Gesell.
So learning does not occur irrespective of maturation, and the two are not independent. That learning is influenced by environment is true, but it does not describe the relationship between learning and maturation, which is what the question asks.
