The phase of clear-cut attachment begins at about 7 or 8 months of age and lasts through toddlerhood (till about age 3). During this phase, the infant becomes more aware of individual people and develops a preference for certain individuals (usually primary caregivers). They start to show separation anxiety when separated from their attachment figures and use them as a secure base for exploration.
