A person's motivation or lack of motivation aren't necessarily due to the person's laziness. Difficulties in school may be due to more than just motivation to learn and the environment in which the learning takes place. Recent studies have showed that a child's learning ability and the tactics needed to learn by the child may be due to genetic make up impacting the brain. There are different learning abilities and tactics that people need in order for them to understand certain information and these are generally inherited by their parents. But even though the genetic make up of a child plays a role in their learning ability it is not the only factor. According to a recent study done involving 13,000 identical twins, the environment where the learning takes place may take a toll as well. The study was done by evaluating identical twins that were learning in different environments. The twins were then given a questionnaire to evaluate their learning which concluded that the environment in which they were in also played a role. The researchers looking into the impacts of genetic make up and environment stated that the research done was sensitive and more testing would be needed, but concluded that both are key roles in a person's learning abilities.
