CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -1) Overpopulation Lorenz doesn’t focus on the overpopulation problem of some countries (China, India, etc.), but rather deals with it as a world-wide phenomenon that has distorted human behaviour as a whole. The most catastrophic aspect of this situation is excessive urbanization.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Ethology. Lorenz is recognized as one of the founding fathers of the field of ethology, the study of animal behavior. He is best known for his research of the principle of attachment, or imprinting, through which in some species a bond is formed between a newborn animal and its caregiver.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lorenz’s early scientific contributions dealt with the nature of instinctive behavioral acts, particularly how such acts come about and the source of nervous energy for their performance. He also investigated how behaviour may result from two or more basic drives that are activated simultaneously in an animal.
