Feild exp
Took large clutch of eggs
Divided randomly
Half with biological mother
Half with lorenz present
Lorez imitated behaviour of all hatched eggs
With quacking sound

Question 6

Atttachment
Animal studs
Lorenz
Findings

Answer 6

When box removed
2 groups separated to go to respective mothers
Half to goose half to lorenz
-imprinted
Followed first moving object
During 12-17 hour critical period after hatching

Question 7

Attatchment
Animal studs
Lorenz conclusion

Answer 7

Dosnt appear to activate immediately
Altho seems a critical period
Imprinting consequences got short n long survival
After 32 hrs unlikely develop
