Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Imprinting is a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience and thereafter follows that object. This process occurs during a specific time frame early in life, known as a critical period. If the animal does not encounter the object (often a parent) during this critical period, it may not form the attachment at all.
