Answer 1

#1) How does attachment affect exploration?

Answer: According to Ainsworth attachment acts as a form of secure base, which is used by the infant to explore the rest of the world and make further attachments. This was concluded after noticing that during strange situation children are more than likely to explore the setting in presence of the mother than the stranger. Harlow studied attachment of monkeys, which makes both investigations highly different.
