imprinting \im*print"ing\, n. (Ethology, Psychology)
The learning of a behavioral pattern that occurs soon after
birth or hatching in certain animals, in which a long-lasting
response to an individual (such as a parent) or an object is
rapidly acquired; it is particularly noted in the response of
certain birds to the animal they first see after hatching,
usually the parent, as in ducks who will follow the adult
duck they first see.
