(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
In Harlow's research, baby monkeys were found to spend most of their time with:
The cloth surrogate mother
The wire surrogate mother
In Harlow's research, when baby monkeys were frightened with stimuli, they would run to:
The cloth surrogate mother
The wire surrogate mother
Harlow's later observations of the monkeys used in his research found that they:
They were less sociable
They were more sociable
They bred more often
They bred less often
They were more aggressive and would attack their offspring
Harlow concluded that:
Infants form an attachment with a figure that provides comfort and protection rather than food.
Infants form an attachment with a figure that provides food rather than comfort and protection
The absence of a real mother can result in social and emotional disturbances
The absence of a real mother does not result in any long-term negative consequences
Lorenz's animal research provided supporting evidence for what theory of attachment?
The learning theory of attachment
Bowlby's monotropic theory of attachment
Harlow's animal research provided opposing evidence for what theory of attachment?
The learning theory of attachment
Bowlby's monotropic theory of attachment
