    - - procedure
        
        observed babies for 18 months to watch interactions between baby and its caregiver
        
        60 infants, longitudinal, observed every 4 weeks until 1 year
      - findings
        
        infants held an attachment to the person who appropriately responded to their needs, not who spent the most time with them (sensitive responsiveness)
        
        those who had their needs met quickly and were played with had intense attachments
        
        10 month olds had attachments with many figures: mothers, fathers grandparents, neighbours
        
        at 18 months half of the children had their mother as their main attachment figure, the other half had their father
      - AO3
        
        low temporal validity as it was carried out in the 1960s
        
        poor sample - ethnocentric towards western countries, hard to generalise findings
  - - - carrying out the same action at the same time
        
        when a mother and an infants action mirror each other
    - - when one of the pair completes an action and the other copies it
    - - was a controlled observation with four different stimuli, three being head movements
      - people external to the set-up had to record findings using event sampling whenever they saw the infant's tongue protrude and go back and mouth opening and closing
      - the observers were made to watch the tapes twice over and record both times
- - - - 23 out of 24 hours a day the monkey clung to the cloth mother and only visited the wire mother for food
    - - set up a cloth mother (offers comfort) and a wire mother (offers food)
      - put a baby monkey into the experiment and observed whether it would choose the cloth mother for comfort or the wire mother for food
