Limitation - Counter evidence from animal studies:
Lorenz and Harlow showed that feeding is not the key to attachment
Limitation - Counter evidence from humans
Primary attachment figure not always the person who does the feeding - Schaffer and Emerson
Quality of attachment related to interactional synchrony not feeding - Isabella et al
Strength - Some conditioning may be involved:
Conditioning (association with comfort) may influence choice of primary attachment figure
Counterpoint - Babies are more active in attachment than conditioning explanations suggest - Feldman and Eidelman
Strength - Social learning theory:
Hay and Vespo suggested that parents teach children to love them by demonstrating attachment behaviours
Parents also reinforce loving behaviour by showing approval when baby displays their own attachment behaviours
