- 1What did lorenz want to find out ?he was interested in the process through which animals would imprint on objects. This is the innate readiness to form a bond with and to follow the first moving object that is seen-it is a useful way of maintaining contact between infant and adult in the natural world
- 2what was the method lorenz used ?split a group of greylag goose eggs into 2 groups and left one with there natural animal mother and the other in an incubator and on hatching they saw Lorenz as the first moving object
all young birds were placed together under a upturned box - 3What were lorenzes findings ?naturally hatched followed mother and incubator followed lorenz - when leaving the upturned box this is who thy followed
lorenz noted this tended to be irreversible
-imprinting tended to occur within a brief time period following hatching (between 4 and 25 hours ) - 4What was the conclusion made from lorenzes study ?imprinting is a form of attachment which helps to maintain contact between infant and adult, especially among birds that tend to leave the nest early
- 5What other study supports lorenzes ideas ?Guiton found that chicks would imprint on yellow gloves used for feeding them -supporting his idea since it shows that animals do not imprint on particular objects but may focus on a number of items they are exposed to during crutiel stages of development
- 6give a criticism of research carried out by Lorenz?Guiton found that imprinting on chickens could be reversed therefore disapproving lorenzs idea of imprinting
- 7give a criticism of research carried out by Lorenz?imprinting is a form of learning whereas lorenz views it as an innate process
research into imprinting was originally done with animals and questions arise whether it can be generalised to humans - 8What was harlow trying to find out ?harlow was interested in whether comfort was more important than food in forming attachments
- 9What was the method for the harlow study?new born rhesus monkeys were placed in individual cages-each was given a surrogate mother; one made of wire and the other covered in soft cloth (towelling mother)
there were 4 conditions..
1-a wire mother producing milk and a towelling mother producing no milk
2-a wire mother producing no milk and a towelling mother producing milk
3-a wire mother producing milk
4- a towelling mother producing milk
the amount of time spent with each mother was recorded as was the monkeys behaviour when they heard a loud noise - 10What were the findings from harlows study ?-when given choice monkeys preferred contact with towelling mother regardless of whether she produced milk (still clung to towelling mother when feeding stretching across to wire mother)
-monkeys with only a wire mother showed signs of stress (diarrhoea)
-when frightened by noise the monkeys would cling to towelling mother
-monkeys with towelling mother explored more visiting there mother more often - 11What was the conclusion drawn from the harlow study ?The monkeys seemed to have an innate need for contact suggesting that attachment is concerned with emotional comfort
contact is associated with lower levels of stress and a willingness to explore suggesting emotional security - 12Give 2 additional pieces of info about the harlow study ?- baby monkeys isolates but heard sounds of other monkeys- caused distress
-16 monkeys in 4 conditions - 13give 2 criticism of the Harlow study ?unethical-create lasting emotional harm as the monkeys later found it difficult to form relationships with there peers
