The process of imprinting involves the formation of a(n)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Imprinting is a rapid form of learning in which certain social behaviors are learned during a critical period in early life and are difficult to change later. The process leads to the formation of attachment to a specific object or individual, such as a mother figure. Therefore, choice A (attachment) is the best answer. Choice B (identity) is incorrect since imprinting does not necessarily involve the formation of an individual's identity. Choice C (theory of mind) is incorrect since imprinting does not involve the ability to understand one's own or others' mental states. Choice D (telomere) is unrelated to imprinting.
