Learning Theory – All behaviour is learned rather than inborn. Infants are born as ‘blank slates’, and everything they become can be explained in terms of the experience they have
The theory is based on the idea that during infancy, a child's primary drive is food, which leads to a secondary drive for attachment.
The “cupboard love” theory of attachment is another name for the learning theory that suggests that infants form attachments to caregivers who provide food.
