Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Just prior to forming a primary attachment, infants are typically in the stage of protest when their caregiver leaves, known as separation anxiety. This suggests that they have already started forming an attachment with their caregiver. Infants in the stage of multiple attachments have already formed a primary attachment and are now forming attachments with other caregivers. Infants are not largely asocial creatures and do show social behaviors even before forming primary attachments.
