- 10Describe the sample of Schaffer and Emerson's 'Stages of development' study-60 working class infants
-From Glasgow
-5-23 weeks until they were 1 year old - 11Describe the method of Schaffer and Emerson's 'Stages of development' study-Observed every 4 weeks in their own home

The person/thing that provides it is the SECONDARY REINFORCER - 24What is the learning theory of attachment?-Behaviour is learnt and not instinctive
-operant and classical conditioning - 25What are some strengths of the learning theory of attachment?-Face validity- There is evidence from our own experiences that behaviour is learnt

-High reliability- The results have been replicated - 35What are some weaknesses of Ainsworth's 'the strange situation' study?-Sample bias- The sample is very specific and is not generalizable. It may not be valid in other countries
-It may not be valid at all- The results could depend on the child's mood or previous experiences - 36What is Ainsworth's explanation for the differences between attachment types?Securely attached children have mothers who sooth them, engage with them and provide physical contact (sensitive)
