-by 10 months 30% displayed multiple attachments

babies are young, have poor coordination and are almost immobile
=difficult to make judgements based on observations of behaviour
AO3 - multiple attachments not clear
not clear when multiple attachments are formed, just after the specific attachment.

AO3 - cultural factors, collectivist vs individualist

collectivist families do everything together
