Animal studies of attachment

(a)   investigated how goslings form an attachment

How many groups did Lorenz randomly allocate goose eggs into?

• Two

• Three

• Four

Lorenz's research involved goslings either being first exposed to:

• Their goose mother or Lorenz

• Their goose mother or a wire substitute mother

• Their goose mother or a cloth substitute mother

• A cloth substitute mother or Lorenz

What did Lorenz vary in his research?

• The time between the gosling's birth and when they first saw their gosling mother/Lorenz

• The amount of time spent each gosling spent with Lorenz

• The time between the gosling's birth and when they were first fed

Lorenz found that

• Goslings would follow the first moving object they saw

• All goslings would follow their mother goose

• All goslings would follow Lorenz

• Goslings did not have a preference for who they followed

Lorenz found that goslings would imprint at approximately how many hours after hatching?

• 13-16

• 8-12

• 6-10

• 4-6

Lorenz found that after (a)   hours, it was too late for goslings to imprint

Lorenz concluded that attachment/imprinting takes place within a (a)   period.

Harlow aims to investigate whether:

• Baby monkeys attach to a source of food or comfort

• Baby monkeys imprint

• Goslings imprint

• Goslings attach to a source of food or comfort

What did Harlow record?

• The amount of time baby monkeys spent with two surrogate mothers

• Baby monkeys' responses to fearful stimuli

• Whether monkeys would follow around their mother of Harlow
