Lorenz's Research (1935) | - Took a clutch of gosling eggs and split them into 2 groups (half were left with the mother) - Incubated eggs hatched and the first moving thing they saw (Lorenz) they became attached to - IMPRINTING |
Lorenz (1935) | - One group followed the mother and the other Lorenz (this group showed no recognition of the mother) - Imprinting occurs during the critical period - 1952 - imprinting is irreversible and had a later effect on mate choice (sexual imprinting) and will choose to mate to mate with the same kind they imprinted on |
Evaluation | Research support > Guiton (1966) chicks were exposed to yellow rubber gloves for feeding them and became imprinted on them > Imprinting is not specific > Early imprinting is linked to reproductive behaviour |
Evaluation | Criticisms of Imprinting > Dispute over the meaning > An encounter with an appropriate object leads to the image of that object being irreversibly stamped into the nervous system > Now understood to be reversible |
Harlow's Research (1959) | - 2 mothers were created (wire and cloth) with different heads - Cloth mother with milk and wire mother with milk (4, 4) - Amount of time spent with each was recorded - Were frightened by a mechanical teddy - responses were also recorded |
Harlow (1959) | - All 8 monkeys spent most of the time with the cloth mother even if it didn't have milk - Short periods of time were spent with the wire mother only for food - When frightened they spent time with the cloth mother - Became socially and sexually abnormal |
Evaluation | Ethics > Harlow's study could not be done with humans > Created emotional harm as the monkeys found it difficult to form attachments with others |
Evaluation | Generalising animal behaviour to humans > Humans differ in important ways as behaviour is governed by conscious decisions > Harlow's research is supported by Schaffer and Emerson's findings |
