A series of six programmes presented by Dr Martin Bax 3: Nature or Nurturer
Konrad Lorenz 's work on imprinting of young animals suggested that both parent and offspring have genetically-basedbehavioursthatensure the biological success of the young animal. Are human children, too, born with a genetically-based ability - to elicit parental responses from those who look after them? And do mothers have in-built behaviour directed towards providing their babies with the emotional background necessary for the child's psychological development?
