Theories of Attachment
Psychoanalytical Theory Freudian Oral, Breast Feeding
Behavioral/Learning Theory Infants become attached to people who feed and
meet their needs The primary caregiver becomes the source of
reinforcement – the infant will do whatever necessary to get the caregiver’s attention (cry, smile, babble)

Harlow’s Monkey StudyHow important is feeding?
• Harlow researched this question in 1959• Critical Question: Would the monkeys become
attached to the wire “mother” who feeds them or the soft, cloth mother?

How does this apply to human babies?
We may shiver through Harlow's results, but still we make use of them.
Babies who are deprived of physical touch and emotional attachment were much more likely to suffer physical, social, emotional, and intellectual difficulties
Orphanages, Hospitals, Fathers, Daycares
