Peeping in chicks as a function of environmental change
Tóm tắt
Peeping was measured in 1-day-old and 4-day-old chicks in four different testing conditions. No differences were found between the two ages, but peeping increased markedly with the degree of environmental change. This latter variable may have been overlooked in past work because of the prevailing interest in changes of behavior as a function of disruption of social imprinting bonds.
