Im trying to find any criticism of Konrad Lorenzs study of his geese experiment if any? It would be great if anyone can shed some light on this. Thanks

don't know if you still need help but I would say that the geese lack generalisability to humans and therefore the results could be oversimplified.

I dont think he did his experiments very scientifically, (i.e. with control groups, statistical comparisons), but im not sure. Either way imprinting is very well established in birds.

He wasn't trying to generalise to humans.

Maybe you could argue that the theory of monotropy was oversimplified. Lorenz believed the birs would immediately attach to one individual and one individual only, which is fairly mechanistic.

Ok fair enough, although the results have been used to support Bowlbys evolutionay theory, which is applied to humans.
