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. 
Question 26: What was Darwin’s contribution to ethology? 
A. Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children. 
B. Darwin’s work provided the basis for ethology. 
C. Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen. 
D. Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology.

Question 29: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time period when

A. The mother will later imprint on the gosling. 
B. The gosling may not find a mate when it matures. 
C. The gosling will not imprint on any object. 
D. The gosling may imprint on another object.

( ID: 98303 ) 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.

C. his manipulation of genes

A. possibilities for genetic deficiencies 
B. cases of genetic deficiencies 
C. discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms 
D. effects of genetic engineering misuse
