Psychological Imprinting: How does it work? Have you ever met a person who has raised a non-domesticated animal as a pet? It would seem that this relationship would not work out between these two very different species. It is possible though for this animal and human coexist with this relationship and circumstances through the psychological process of imprinting. Imprinting is a specialized type of programmed learning that can be seen in higher animal species (Wikipedia‚ 2002). When learning

Imprinting describes a process in which newborn animals rapidly develop a strong attachment to a particular individual‚ often the mother. It is associated particularly with precocious bird species (species that mature early) such as chickens‚ ducks‚ and geese‚ in which the young hatch fairly well-developed. Imprinting is advantageous because once offspring imprint on their mother‚ they will try to remain close to her and follow her around‚ behaviors that are beneficial in terms of the offspring’s

form attachments. This means that infants are pre-programmed to become attached to their caregiver. This is supported by the research of Lorenz (1952) in stating that imprinting is innate. Lorenz found that goslings imprinted on the first moving object they saw‚ no matter what it was‚ even if it was Lorenz. Lorenz demonstrated that animals are not born with a pre-existing view of their parents (innate). This was shown when Lorenz divided two groups of gosling eggs‚ one stayed with their mother while

Douglas Spalding Douglas Spalding was the architect of ethology‚ the scientific study of animal behavior. He started his research in the mid 1800s. His studies discounted British empiricist claims that animal skill regarding depth‚ distance; perception and sound localization were learned by the animals while they were young. Spalding study of ethology involved the determiner of behavior such as instinct is behavior that is predisposed or shaped by natural selection or innate pre-programmed behavior

Imagine‚ being an animal locked in a to small cage‚ poisoned with cancer‚ drugged‚ and wishing you were dead. Animals being tested on have all these bad things happening to them and much‚ much‚ more. Many products such as cosmetics‚ chemicals and even bath products are tested on animals. Sometimes it gets in their eyes and can harm them enough to make them lose hair or even their lives. On the other side of the debate‚ people will argue that people should be allowed to experiment on animals because it helps

Animal Testing: The Destruction of Animals Animal testing‚ also known as animal experimentation‚ is the use of non-human animals in experiments and development project‚ usually to determine toxicity‚ dosing and efficacy of drugs before proceeding to human clinical trials (Biology online). These tests are to examine new products‚ such as vaccines‚ shampoos‚ household products‚ cosmetics‚ foods‚ and personal care products on the animals so they are “safer” for the consumer‚ which never is an absolute

more than 115 million animals worldwide are used in laboratory experiments every year (Humane Society International‚ 2010). Animals‚ from the fruit fly to the mouse‚ are widely used in scientific research. Research is critical for the advancement of medicine‚ leading to increased chances of survival from diseases and improved strategies to prevent them. Without animal experiments‚ transplants‚ diseases‚ cancer‚ and vaccines would not have been advanced. The use of animals can be inevitable‚ particularly

Do you make him leap like a locust‚ striking terror with his proud snorting? He pauses fiercely‚ rejoicing in his strength and charges into the fray.
