Talk:Imprinting (psychology)

message: The present lead-in reads, "Imprinting is the term used in psychology and ethology to describe any kind of phase-sensitive learning (learning  as in "a term which r class of objects". I've added that the latter to the intro, but still, I'm not sure the former is clear enough on what needs to be said. Lucidish 23:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You take it wrongly.  "Imprinting" started as a term applied to a narrowly perceptual kind of learning, but is now applied more widely.  seglea 06:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge with [[Imprinting of young animals]]

message: I have not read where the actual research has been conducted or the books listed as reference regarding this practice, but from my understanding, this is actually a common practice in Chinese rural areas, instead of exclusively only in Taiwan.  The term "Shim-pua", while used in Taiwan, is a word from Min-Nan dialect, and is readily used parts of Southern China other than Taiwan.
Untill someone else can provide me with direct quote from the books that conducted the actual research, I'm going to change this part of the article to reflect the fact of this practice.

message: I know Timothy Leary's psychology work focused heavily on imprinting, and was later elaborated on by Robert Anton Wilson. Does any know more who could write a better section on this (a psychology student, hopefully)?--Primal Chaos (talk) 20:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Please note what Incest taboo#Instinctual and Genetic Explanations has to say on the Westermarck effect. It provides a source (Hartung 1985) that explicitly contradicts Shepher 1983. I do not have either source available so that I do not intend to change the article but I would like to alert the readers and editors of this article to this point.

Do we have anything to back this up?  If so what about all the cousin couples in the world?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Don-Jam (talk • contribs) 18:34, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

message: This article fails to take account of alternative views that effectively render imprinting merely a subordinate form of training.  See http://www.animatedsoftware.com/family/howardsh/imprint.htm  Absent a more thorough discussion, this article is misleading and useless. --djenner (talk) 00:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Imprinting is more commonly found in certain animals.  Humans bond in a slower more complex process.  But Trauma often causes an indelible imprinting of the memory of the trauma.  --205.167.120.201 (talk) 00:51, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
