WEEK FOUR DEV

Konrad Lorenz: Imprinting Birds

Follow object not mom ness, bio prepared to follow patic figure. Matters cause attachment theory seek prox to tohers and protect of survival

Harry Harlow (Monkey)

exper research comfort caregivers attach related more than meeting feeding needs. Infants went to comfort robot, surrogate comfort, soft physical contact

John Bowlby brief

Dev attach theory as evo based behav sys that promotes prox to caregivers for saftey and protection.

Mary Ainsworth

extened attach theory through observ re including strange situ, identify patterns of infant attach behav

Key ideas 5 of John Bowlby

1. Attachment as bio need

2. secure base concept

3. sensitive period

4. internal working models

5. seperation distress

Attachment as bio need

infants are bio prep to seek prox to caregivers, esp when frightened, distressed, or vulnerable

Secure base concept

When caregivers are available and responsive, children can explore while returing to them for comfort and reassurance

Sensitive period

ealry childhood is important period for dev attachment relationship’s, although attachment continues to be shaped by later rela and exper

Internal working models

rep attachment exper contrib to expectations about self, others, and relation, for example whether others are likley to be avalibale when support is needed

seperation distress

sep from an attachment figure can activley the attachemnt sys, producing behav intened to restore prox

Mary Ainsoworth/ strange situation/ whats observed / reunion

Mild stressor, unfim setting, stranger, breif sep and reunions

typ 12-18 months

proxim and contact seeking, contact maintain, aviod and resis, ability to be comforted, return to exploration

reunion import cause seek comfort and return to exploration

attachemnt patterns/ classifications

resp to sep and reunion, re ident diff patterns of attach behav.

classifications: resp to sep, prox contact seeking during reunion, rep to comfort, aviod or resistance, return to exploaration

How may infants respond/ pattern, distressed, reunion

secure/ show distress when care leaves/ seek prox,contact is comforted and returns to explor

avoidant/ relativley little outwards distress/ tends to aviod or min contact with care

resistant anxious/ substanial distress and diff settling/ seek contact resist comfort may remian distressed

disorganised/ behav may lack clear or consis strad/ show contradic, confused, apprehen, freezing, app aviod behav

Primary attachment figures

serves central source of comfort, saftey, and co reg part child distressed

often a parent but may be grandparent another consistent caregiver

attach devlop through ongoing inter and caregiving exper not simpky through bio relatedness

Secondary attachment figures

Form meaningful attach-related relation with other supportive adults

grandparents, extended families, teachers, coaches

additional sources: saftey, emotional support, co-reg, encouragment, support during stress

Secure base/ safe haven/ circle of security

SB- i feel safe enough to explore (avalible resp, play, return to support when done explore)

SH- I can return when i need comfort (distress, comfort, grad return to explore)

CofS-visual rep of child mov btw explor and seeking connection support

key idea of secure safe vibe

secure base- explore- distress/need- safe haven- regulate- explore again

separation distress

when figure unavailable- protest the sep, seeking prox follow caregiving, changes exploration play, seekig comfort or reassurance

tells us- regain prox, resp to caregiver, during reunio prov import info about the attach pattern

Internal working model

mental rep of self others relationships. Dev through rep interactions with attach figure shape expec: other available, safe to seek comfort, when im distressed, when in need support

Interp- seek or resp support- manage distress- relation and interactions

Put all together relationship based system

1. bio foundation- infants prep to seek prox and protection when distressed

2. caregiving exper- repeated inter with provide exper of comfort resp and co reg

3. Attachment behav- attach sys is activated, child seek prox, comfort, reasur, support

4. patterns of attach- strange situ allows research observe patterns in how infants resp to sep and reunion

5. internal wokring models- rep exper contrib to expec about self, others, relation and avalib support

Attach theory def

bio based behav sys that motives infants to seek and maintain prox to caregivers, patic during distress or vuln, support protection and co-reg

core premise

human infants highly dep, attach behav help maintain prox, infants develop selective emotional bonds with fam caregivers

Influ and growth

ealry attachment exper can contrib: expectations about self and others, emotion reg, later relationship patterns

essential functions of attachemnt relationship

secure base- supports exploration

safe haven- offers comforts and protection in times of stress

internal working models

cog expectations about self others

are others reliable and resp

am i worthy

Attach behav

Ainsworth- helps us notice and describ patterns in attach behav

Bowlby- help us understand why attach behav occur what functions they serve

1. theory why attached

2. observe behav can we see

3. interpret patterns

4. look deeper underlying

Attachement is relationship not trait

1. Relational context - diff attach real with diff caregivers

2. Key distinction- attache to caregiver without that attach ness being secure

3. behavioural scopr- indiv behav dont deter attach quality

4. analytical focus- we look for org, pattern bahv in context

Children talked in class show us what about Bowlby

Leo- secure base- explore, comfort, return to explore

Maya- Sys Activation- strong distress prox seeking, contect dosent readily restores exploration

Eli- distress matters- attach come clear when kid scared

Sophie- relationship- diff adults diff context

Mateo- security and explor- distress leads kids back

jordan- bio sys- less vis when things go well

John Bowlbys 4 stages

1. pre attachment- infants attract, single encourage, rec voice

2. attachment in making- babbles smiles, learn actions, develop trust, gen not yet pronouced

3. clear cut attachment- prox seek increase, infant temp and situation, resp alt

4. reciprocal relationship- anxiety may decline, dep returns, negotiate goal corrected

attachment beyond infancy

rep interactios, expectations, trust and closeness

anxiety- how much i reject \

aviodence- comf and depend

Ealry and sensitive period

love patterns, develop expectations, sensitive dosent equal critical period (restricted dev window exper req for dev

Schaffer and emerson

infants primary were not ness their primary feeders, ass with quality of caregivers interactions patic respons

Dewey: Exper/Conti/Misedu

Leaner A- one rep exper adults who respond to distress and prov opp

Learner B- rep exper embar or dismissal when asking for help

how may learners exper influ their willingness

Internal working model

rep interactions- expectations- interpretation- response

adults help me feel safe to ask unsure wont

Interpsychological- Shared practice- Intrapsychological

1. social level- caregiver dis child regulate responsive inter

2. transitional phase- rep supp exper, child partic in strad for managing distress

3. indiv lvl- dev prac the kids increase uses regulation strad indep

Dewey VS Vygotsky - future learning and core synthesis

Dew/ Continuity of Exper

dose exper encourage or restrict future engage and explor

Vyg/ Scaffolding and regulation

how can supp partic contrib to increase indep reg

both persp help us consider how present inter and exper MAY shape future opp for engagement, autonomy and dev self reg

Serve and Return 5

1. Notice the serve - pay attention to what child says looks

2. return the serve- Respond focus with interest and attention. ex. acknow

3. Give it name- put words to what kid seeing or doing

4. Allow space- back and forth inter through shared turns

5. Notice endings and beginnings- recognise signals allow inter to end, re engage when signals readiness

Attach and Dev

1. dev in relationship- bio prep, ongoing interactions

2. secure base and safe haven

3. attach is org patterns- not fixed chara

4. exper shapes and expect- interal working models

5. dev remains open to exper- cont to shape, engage auto and growth
