Konrad Lorenz Konrad Lorenz was well known as a scientist in the field of ethology‚ and his field in the study of animal behavior shaped society today. His theories and discoveries in his life were a breakthrough in the field of ethology‚ but examining the factors that affected his life like his family‚ work‚ and even his dog played an important role in his work. Lorenz and other scientist popularize the study and function of animal behavior and instinct. Lorenz’s research focused the behaviors

Limitations of the Lorenz Curve The Lorenz Curve illustrates the degree of equality (or inequality) of distribution of income in an economy. It plots the cumulative percentage of income received by cumulative shares of the population and includes a straight line to illustrate perfect income equality. Thus‚ the closer the Lorenz curve is to the straight line‚ the greater the equality in income distribution‚ while‚ the further away it is from the straight line‚ the more unequal the distribution

One of the most influential people in the history of imprinting is Konrad Lorenz. Lorenz was originally known as one of the father’s of ethology. Ethology is the zoological study of animal behavior. One of the key concepts of ethology is the discovery that predictable behavioral programs are inherited from parents and portions of programs are open to natural selection and modification (Wikipedia‚ 2002). In the 1930’s Lorenz theoretically analyzed imprinting. He had two major revelations on

first matters tackled by the field ofethology. Konrad Lorenz‚ one of the founders of ethology‚ studied imprinting to determine what controls and limits the behavior associated with imprinting. Lorenz showed that newly hatched birds imprint on practically any moving object to which they are close during their first day of life. In natural conditions‚ of course‚ this object is almost certainly to be the mother. However‚ in a famous experiment‚ Lorenz was able to get birds to imprint on him. Interestingly

Word History Of Sky? Other versions of why the sky is high Why the Sky is so High? Long ago‚ the sky was very low. It was so low that people could touch it if they raised their hands. At the horizon‚ where the sky nearly touched the earth‚ was a village. Here lived an old woman all by herself. All day long she was busy with her household chores. Cleaning her utensils‚ scrubbing the floor‚ and dusting her courtyard. One day‚ she saw that her courtyard was very dirty

Douglas Spalding Douglas Spalding was the architect of ethology‚ the scientific study of animal behavior. He started his research in the mid 1800s. His studies discounted British empiricist claims that animal skill regarding depth‚ distance; perception and sound localization were learned by the animals while they were young. Spalding study of ethology involved the determiner of behavior such as instinct is behavior that is predisposed or shaped by natural selection or innate pre-programmed behavior

not do it‚ and there came a point where they started‚ so their behavior had changed. A change in behavior of this type must be the result of learning. Lorenz’s goslings Lorenz split a large clutch of greylag goose eggs into 2 groups. One was allowed to hatch normally and the goslings followed their mother around. Lorenz had the second group of eggs incubated and then arranged it so that he was the first thing the goslings saw when they hatched. From then on they followed him everywhere. The
