Bowlby's Critical Period of Attachment - a rule for secure attachment? - Developmental Psychology

The video explores the concept of a critical period in attachment theory, initially supported by animal studies and case studies like Genie's. It discusses Bowlby's research on juvenile delinquents and contrasts it with studies by Tizzard and Chisholm, which suggest that while early attachment is important, its absence doesn't preclude forming later attachments. The video concludes that while a strict critical period may not exist, early attachment influences social and emotional development.
