Animal Behavior: Learning
Problems
Problem :
The first thing a newly hatched duckling sees is a hen. It begins to follow this chicken around and considers the hen its parent and the hen's chick its siblings. What type of imprinting is this?
Problem :
The same duckling grows up and as an adult is sexually attracted to chickens rather than other ducks. Why?
Problem :
Why is it often more difficult for adults to learn a new language than it is for children?
