Detailed explanation-1: -Famously described by zoologist Konrad Lorenz in the 1930s, imprinting occurs when an animal forms an attachment to the first thing it sees upon hatching. Lorenz discovered that newly hatched goslings would follow the first moving object they saw-often Lorenz himself.
Detailed explanation-2: -D. Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian zoologist, was among the first to describe attachment behaviors of geese soon after hatching. In his classic experiment, Lorenz divided eggs laid by a greylag gooseinto two groups. One of the groups was hatched by their mother and immediately began following her around.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rural children have who raised ducks or geese have long known about “imprinting”-or socially bonding to a parent figure. They learned that if they were the first moving object seen by newborn chicks, the young birds would soon follow them around devotedly.
