Question 1

Outline Lorenz’s animal studies of attachment (6 marks)

Answer 1

Lorenz divided goose eggs randomly

Question 2

Outline Lorenz’s animal studies of attachment (6 marks).
Lorenz divided goose eggs randomly.
How were they hatched?

Answer 2

Half were hatched with the mother present in the natural environment and half were hatched in an incubator with Lorenz present

Question 3

Outline Lorenz’s animal studies of attachment (6 marks).
Lorenz divided goose eggs randomly.
Half were hatched with the mother present in the natural environment and half were hatched in an incubator with Lorenz present, with Lorenz making sure what?

Answer 3

Half were hatched with the mother present in the natural environment and half were hatched in an incubator with Lorenz present, with Lorenz making sure that he was the first moving object that the newly hatched goslings encountered

Question 4

Outline Lorenz’s animal studies of attachment (6 marks).
Lorenz divided goose eggs randomly.
Half were hatched with the mother present in the natural environment and half were hatched in an incubator with Lorenz present, with Lorenz making sure that he was the first moving object that the newly hatched goslings encountered.
What was recorded?

Answer 4

The behaviour of all the goslings was recorded

Question 5

Outline Lorenz’s animal studies of attachment (6 marks).
Lorenz divided goose eggs randomly.
Half were hatched with the mother present in the natural environment and half were hatched in an incubator with Lorenz present, with Lorenz making sure that he was the first moving object that the newly hatched goslings encountered.
The behaviour of all the goslings was recorded.
Immediately after birth, what happened?

Answer 5

Immediately after birth, the naturally hatched baby goslings followed their mother, while the incubator hatched goslings followed Lorenz

Question 6

Outline Lorenz’s animal studies of attachment (6 marks).
Lorenz divided goose eggs randomly.
Half were hatched with the mother present in the natural environment and half were hatched in an incubator with Lorenz present, with Lorenz making sure that he was the first moving object that the newly hatched goslings encountered.
The behaviour of all the goslings was recorded.
Immediately after birth, the naturally hatched baby goslings followed their mother, while the incubator hatched goslings followed Lorenz.
What were irreversible?

Answer 6

The attachment bonds were irreversible

Question 7

Outline Lorenz’s animal studies of attachment (6 marks).
Lorenz divided goose eggs randomly.
Half were hatched with the mother present in the natural environment and half were hatched in an incubator with Lorenz present, with Lorenz making sure that he was the first moving object that the newly hatched goslings encountered.
The behaviour of all the goslings was recorded.
Immediately after birth, the naturally hatched baby goslings followed their mother, while the incubator hatched goslings followed Lorenz.
The attachment bonds were irreversible.
When would imprinting occur?

Answer 7

Imprinting would only occur within the first few hours after birth (approximately 4 - 25 hours)

Question 8

Imprinting would only occur within the first few hours after birth (approximately 4 - 25 hours), which what?

Answer 8

Imprinting would only occur within the first few hours after birth (approximately 4 - 25 hours), which he termed the critical period and was permanent

What would goslings imprinted onto humans, as matured adult birds, do?

Answer 9

Goslings imprinted onto humans would, as matured adult birds, attempt to mate with humans (sexual imprinting)
