research of Lorenz (1952) in stating that imprinting is innate. Lorenz found that goslings imprinted on the first moving object they saw‚ no matter what it was‚ even if it was Lorenz. Lorenz demonstrated that animals are not born with a pre-existing view of their parents (innate). This was shown when Lorenz divided two groups of gosling eggs‚ one stayed with their mother while the other group were put in an incubator until they hatched at which point the first thing they saw was Lorenz.

Ethologist Konrad Lorenz demonstrated the power of instinct when he was able to get young geese to imprint on him. He noted that geese would form an attachment to the first moving thing they encountered after they had hatched which would usually have been the mother. Instead Lorenz ensured that he was the first moving thing they encountered; the geese became attached and imprinted on him.

To do so Lorenz divided a groups of unhatched goslings into two‚ the conditions of this research were that once hatched one group
