   Imprinting
   Imprinting, famously studied in Konrad Lorenz's work with geese, is a rapid, highly resistant form of learning occurring during a specific, brief, and critical period early in development. This learning usually involves forming an attachment to the first large moving object perceived, which subsequently serves as the object of social following. If imprinting does not occur during this critical window, it often cannot be reliably induced later, suggesting a strong maturational constraint on the underlying neural circuitry.
