4. how long is the most critical period? 3-6 months
5. what happens if no attachments are formed during the critical period? they will find it much harder to form one later or not form any at all
6. explain the internal working model mental representation / model for what relationships are like based on the relationship they have with their primary caregiver
7. what is the continuity hypothesis? idea that early relationships with caregivers predict later relationships as an adult
8. how is there research support? Brzelton et al (1975) observed babies trigger interactions with caregiver using social releasers where caregiver told to ignore babies who become acutely distressed
9. how is there supporting evidence? Bailey et al (2007) measured 99 mothers and their 1 year old babies, quality of babies and the mothers attachments to own parents finding corresponding evidence to the continuity hypothesis (good then good now)
