Interacting mechanisms during the formation of filial preferences: The development of a predisposition does not prevent learning.

Abstract

It has previously been demonstrated that under certain circumstances, 2-day-old dark-reared chicks prefer a stimulus that resembles a conspecific to less naturalistic objects. In our first three experiments, we assessed whether exposure to the latter type of object, after the predisposition had developed, affected chicks' preferences. The results of Experiment 4 show that, under rearing conditions in which the predisposition does not develop, exposure to an artificial stimulus leads to a strong preference being established for that stimulus
