Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its Evolutionary history Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but has become even more influential today The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin Its modern foundations were laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen

Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz,

and Tinbergen observed behavior patterns that promote survival The most well-known of these is imprinting, the early following behavior of certain baby birds that

ensures that the young will stay close to their mother and be fed and protected from

danger Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time period of development

If the mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling her in

important features is, young goslings may imprint on it instead Observations of

imprinting led to major concept that has been applied in child Development” the critical period It refers to a limited times span during which the child is biologically prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but needs the support of suitably

stimulating environment Many researchers have conducted studies to find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must be learned during restricted time periods for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical and social stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If language is not mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it reduced?

Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby applied ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between

an infant and its parents He argued that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social signals that encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby By keeping a parent near,

these behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided with the stimulation and affection necessary for healthy growth The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy process involving changes

in psychological structures that lead to a deep affectional tie between parent and

baby

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet

to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

The biologist's role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and development of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems A scientist can no longer ignore the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the basic research in which he is involved This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory balance As a member of society,

it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development

As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human traits are made to order, may soon be a reality As

desirable as it_may seem to be, such an accomplishment would entail many value

judgments Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for

change? In cases of genetic deficiencies and disease, the desirability of the change is

obvious, but the possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far

outweigh the benefits

Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will

be to find ways to curb environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life Many scientists believe that

underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population A

rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the

waste products of which increase the pollution of air, water, and soil The question of

how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of critical importance Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they

do indicate the need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet For although many of man's present and future problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological

ramifications that could affect the very existence of life itself.
