Nota:

• Mary Ainsworth created an experiment called the "Strange Situation". With the first baby, when her mother was in the room she would feel secure and play with the toys and explore the room. A stranger then enters the room, then attempts to play with the baby. The baby avoids the stranger and goes back to her mom. When the mother then left the room, the baby cried and would not allow herself to be comforted by the stranger. When the mother left again the baby was left alone. When the stranger reentered without the mother, the baby was still upset. This baby had a secure attachment with her mother. 

Nota:

• A baby monkey was given the choice between a soft, cloth 'mother' and a cold mother that had milk. They always chose the soft cuddly mother.
