nog beter te pakken...
is het het makkelijkst
om terug te denken aan het werk
van de Oostenrijkse zoöloog en ornitholoog
Konrad Lorenz, grondlegger van de ethologie
en Nobelprijswinnaar in 1973...
heel bekend en inmiddels zeer vertrouwd
in ons aller (collectieve) bewustzijn is zijn stelling
en de daaraan gelieerde experimenten die aantoonden:
"Jonge ganzen die net uit het ei komen volgen automatisch hun moeder...
En het blijkt daarbij dat jonge ganzen een kritische periode hebben...
waarin zij het eerste wat zich op bepaalde manier beweegt...
als hun moeder gaan zien en achternalopen..."
ook als dat eerste bijvoorbeeld een man is...
of zelfs een ballon!...
When a chicken is born to a hen...
it immediately starts running after the hen.
We say that it is running after the mother, but scientists say that this has nothing to do with the mother! That it is only a question of exposure and imprinting.

Scientists have now conducted hundreds of experiments.
One experiment was on chickens about to be born.
The chickens' beaks were emerging from the eggs, and just thén the hen was removed from the scene, and a balloon was placed in front of the chickens instead.
When the chickens opened their eyes, they saw the balloon. You will be surprised to know, that the chickens loved the balloon as if it was their mother. Wherever that balloon moved in the air, they would run after it.
They did not care for the mother!
Wherever she might be.
But they became surprisingly sensitive towards the balloon. When the chickens became tired, they would go and sit beside the balloon. They would try to love the balloon, they would try to peck at the balloon...
Not at the mother.

In this connection...
a lot of work has been done by the scientist Konrad Lorenz.
He says that the first moment of exposure is the most important. The child becomes intimately related to the mother, but becáuse of the first exposure. It runs after the mother, ONLY because she was available to it first.
