Research to support

• P-one strength of Lorenzs research is the existence of support for the concept of imprinting
• E- regolin and vallortigara (1995) found that chicks Imprinted onto simple shapes that moved such as a rectangle or triangle
• E-a range of shapes were then placed in front and the chicks followed the original shape closely (imprinted)
• L- this supports the view that young animals are born with innate mechanisms to imprint on a moving object
