Imprintálási
Imprintálási is a term that refers to the process of imprinting or marking something. In a biological context, it is often used to describe a critical learning period in young animals where they form an attachment to the first moving object they see after birth. This object is typically their mother, but if the animal imprints on something else, it may follow and behave as if that object were its parent. This phenomenon is particularly well-documented in birds, such as goslings, and plays a crucial role in their survival by ensuring they stay close to their caregiver.
Beyond the animal kingdom, imprintálási can also describe the act of making a lasting impression or influence.
