actually, it's to see if the child is securely attached to it's parent. If it was harder to calm the baby down, then the baby would be called insecurely attached. If the baby wasn't distressed when the mother left, then the researcher would also know the baby and mother were not as securely attached as they ought to be. It's more complex than that, but that's the general idea. Understanding attachment can lead to understanding children's future development and relationships.

actually the experiment was carried out by Ainsworth to see what attachment type the child was, i won't go into detail, but actually some children were easily comforted by a stranger, some didn't care whether the motherleft the room or not, this research allowed us to see through Vanijzendorn and Krunenbergs meta analysis how children attached to caregivers through different cultures....

14 months! That's makes for sense

There is no way that baby is over 3 years of age...the women said 40 month year old baby...weird, I thing she said the wrong age

infants discriminate between their mother/caregiver from strangers because at a very young age, they get attached to them and form a bond (:
