Description: Shows the importance of strong emotional ties between infant and adult by comparing four 8-to 10-month-old infants: a home-raised girl with a strong attachment to her mother, a child in an institution with a strong attachment to his nurse, another child who is indiscriminate in his attachment to any adult, and another child who has formed no attachment and appears withdrawn and uninterested in his surroundings.
