Editing C. Lloyd Morgan (section)

=== Instinct versus learning ===
Lloyd Morgan carried out extensive research to separate, as far as possible, inherited behaviour from learnt behaviour. Eggs of chicks, ducklings and [[moorhen]]s were raised in an [[Incubator (egg)|incubator]], and the hatchlings kept from adult birds.<ref name=frs/> Their behaviour after hatching was recorded in detail. Lastly, the behaviour was interpreted as simply as possible. Lloyd Morgan was not the first to work on these questions. [[Douglas Spalding]] in the 1870s had done some remarkable work on inherited behaviour in birds.<ref>Spalding D.A. 1873. Instinct. With original observations on young animals. ''Macmillan's Magazine''. '''27''', 282–293.</ref> His early death in 1877 led to his work being largely forgotten until the 1950s, but Lloyd Morgan cited Spalding's observations in his own work.<ref>Morgan, C.L. (1894).
