Animal studies

1. – Rapid learning process where animals attach to the first moving object they see.
3. – The emotional bond formed between infant and caregiver.
6. – Applying findings from animals to humans.
8. – The animals used in Lorenz’s research.
12. period – The specific time frame during which imprinting must occur.
13. – Researched attachment using rhesus monkeys.
15. – A limitation of animal studies, as findings may not fully apply to humans.

2. – The animals used in Harlow’s research.
4. mother – Harlow’s surrogate that provided comfort but no food.
5. – Lorenz argued imprinting is this type of behaviour (biologically programmed).
7. – Once imprinting occurred, it could not be undone.
9. – The study of animal behaviour in natural environments.
10. mother – Harlow’s surrogate that provided food but no comfort.
11. comfort – Reason Harlow’s monkeys chose the cloth mother over the wire mother.
14. – Studied imprinting in geese.
