three attachment types? secure, insecure ambivalent and insecure avoidant
What to remember for Bowlby's theory... instinctive - to aid survival monotropy critical period - negative effects if no bond internal working model privation - moved foster homes / neglect deprivation - losing contact with parent irreversible effects - depression / aggression & affectionless psychopaths
criticisms of Bowlby critical period is too narrow - just preferable effects of deprivation are not irreversible - czech twins evidence against idea of monotropy - grandparents
Behaviourist theory... not instinctive - reinforcement (consequences) if consequence is positive = repeated infants smiling, gazing = caregivers attention, food rewarding for both (positive r) = repeated learn to attach neglect = nothing rewarding = avoided
