In this video, we discuss Lorenz's famous imprinting field experiment, in which he found that goslings imprint onto the first large, moving object they saw after hatching. Lorenz was able to convince baby geese that he was their mother, and they followed him around like Mother Goose.

We also look at Harry Harlow's extremely famous, and ethically dubious, study of materal privation in monkeys. In this experiment, Harlow is able to demonstrate that the basis of infant-caregiver attachment is comfort and security (not food, as had been presumed by the "cupboard love" hypothesis).
The big question raised by these studies is what they can teach us about how babies form attachments with their parents or primary care giver. Supporters of animal studies suggest that we can conduct research that would be unethical with human participants. But critics of the approach question whether animal studies demonstrate external validity, as animals are not baby humans.

Harlow (1958, 1965, 1974) - Maternal Privation in Rhesus Monkeys
Bowlby (1969) - Five key infant behaviours
Hess (1958) - Further research on imprinting, building on Lorenz's work
