Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Noah's behavior of following and climbing on his mother and becoming upset when she leaves the room is characteristic of the "clear-cut" attachment phase. In this phase, infants have formed a strong attachment to their primary caregiver and show distress when separated from them. This phase usually begins around 6-8 months of age and lasts up to 18 months to 2 years, after which the child develops independence and a wider social network.
