I've searched for the answer to this question, but couldn't find anything. For example, if you praise a child for taking out the trash, and you pick that child for the next generation, will the adult be more likely to take out the trash? Just curious if behavior modification carries over into adulthood. Does praising the teenagers for doing schoolwork make them more likely to work on their careers? Or do you start over with a clean slate when you pick one to start the next generation?
