THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF OBJECT AS RELATED TO INFANT-MOTHER ATTACHMENT

Silvia M. V. Bell·1970·Child Development

Abstract

Piaget (1937) suggested that the development of the object concept does not proceed at the same rate with respect to all objects. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relation between the development of person and object permanence and the attachment of an infant to his mother. 3 hypotheses were tested. (a) Babies tend to be more advanced in the concept of persons than in the concept of inanimate objects as permanent, but there are important' individual diferences. (b) Differences in the rate of development of person permanence are related to the quality of attachment behavior that a baby exhibits toward his mother. (c) Differences in the rate of development of person permanence can affect, in turn, the development of object permanence. The hypotheses were confirmed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
