| Zygote | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The developing human organism from about two weeks after fertilization through the second month. After 10 days, the embryo attaches to the uterine wall.

🗑
|
||||
| show | Demonstrates that infants, like adults, focus on the face rather than the body first when viewing images. Infant novelty preferences have been discovered by assessing infants’ habituation.
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| show | In a pleasant but unfamiliar setting, infants with secure maternal attachment are most likely to use their mothers as a base to explore new surroundings. Responsive parenting contributes most positively to the development of secure attachment.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Infants with insecure maternal attachment are most likely to show indifference to their mother’s return after a brief absence. A mother who is slow in responding to infant’s cries of distress are most likely to encourage insecure attachment.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Many young children with divorced or unmarried parents have been deprived of parental care and attention which puts them at increased risk for insecure attachment. Feeding practices can contribute to differences in attachment.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A person’s characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity. The labels “easy”, “difficult” and “slow-to-warm-up” are used to refer to differences in infant temperament. A child’s temperament is likely to be stable over time. Genetically predisposed.

||||
| show | Children of responsive parenting develop secure attachments and form a lifelong attitude of basic trust toward the world.
🗑
|
||||
| Monkeys (Attachment) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Golden hamsters that are repeatedly threatened and attacked while young grow up to be cowards when caged with same-sized hamsters and they suffered long-term changes in brain chemistry.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Research indicates that most abusive parents report that they themselves were battered and neglected as children. Severe and prolonged sexual abuse places children at risk for substance abuse.
🗑
|
||||
