Strength
- P: Research support for imprinting
- E: Guiton (1966) found that leghorn chicks became imprinted to the yellow rubber gloves used to feed them
- E: Supports view that young animals not born with innate ability to imprint to specific animal but bond with any moving object during critical period. Male chicks even tried to mate with gloves (sexual imprinting) - supports internal working model
- L: Demonstrates strength of imprinting on attachment formation for these chicks to imprint of a pair of rubber gloves
- E: Supports view that young animals not born with innate ability to imprint to specific animal but bond with any moving object during critical period. Male chicks even tried to mate with gloves (sexual imprinting) - supports internal working model
- E: Guiton (1966) found that leghorn chicks became imprinted to the yellow rubber gloves used to feed them
- P: Research support for imprinting
Limitation
- Problematic to extrapolate these findings to humans
- Humans are more complex, show greater emotional attachment to their young compared to other animals. Critical period (12 months) very different from monkeys (90 days) or goslings (2 days)
- Problematic to extrapolate these findings to humans
