Fichas del conjunto (12)
- 1why study animals?-believed there is a close biological continuity between humans and animals
-so we can generalise
-considered more ethical - 2what did Lorenz observe/find?-observed imprinting when he was a child -a neighbour gave him a newly hatched duckling that then followed him around
-the incubator group followed Lorenz everywhere
-control followed mother - 3lorenz' procedure?-randomly divided a clutch of goose eggs
-half the eggs were hatched with the mother goose in natural environment
-other half hatched in incubator where the first moving object they saw was Lorenz
-the two groups were mixed up and the control group continued to follow the mother + vice versa - 4what is imprinting?-whereby bird species that are mobile from birth attach to and follow the first moving object they see
-needs to take place during "critical period" (can be a few hours after birth) otherwise they may never attach to a mother figure - 5procedure of harlows experiment?-tested the idea that a soft object serves some of the same functions as a mum
-16 baby monkeys with two wire models (1st model had milk, 2nd had cloth) - 6findings of harlows experiment?-baby monkeys cuddle cloth model in preference to the milk model
-when frightened the monkey went to the cloth model
-shows contact comfort was more important to the monkeys - 7maternally deprived monkeys as adults?-found to be dysfunctional
-had abnormal social behaviour
-more aggressive, less sociable
-bred less often + unskilled at mating
-neglected their young and sometimes attacked/killed their own children - 8critical period in monkeys?-when a mother has to be introduced to the infant monkey within 90 days in order to form an attachment
-after 90 days its impossible to form an attachment - 9what did sluckin question?-whether there actually was a critical period
-he repeated lorenz' study but using ducklings rather than goslings and imprinted them onto himself
-kept one duckling in isolation well beyond lorenz' reported critical period
-still imprinted the duckling so concluded the critical period Is actually the sensitive period - 10positive evaluation of harlows study?-harlows isolation influenced bowlby in devising his maternal deprivation hypothesis where he says any disruption of the attachment bond as having serious affects
- 11negative evaluation of harlows study?-sacket believed harlows research was unethical
