Investigates how children's security of attachment in infancy is
related to various aspects of their cognitive development over the
preschool years. The book thus constitutes an attempt to build
bridges between the domains of social and cognitive development,
and as such addresses issues which are of increasing interest to
developmental psychologists. In the first two chapters it outlines
Bowlby's attachment theory and the research which it has inspired,
and develops the theme of a secure attachment relationship
providing children with a sense of themselves as effective agents
in their interactions with the world (self-efficacy);The following
chapters describe a study of a sample of children whose security of
attatchment was assessed in infancy. Security-related differences
are reported in the areas of object/person permanence, language
aquisition. symbolic play, maternal tutoring and theory of mind,
but no differances were found in general cognitive ability. The
book's major focus is explaining why securely attached children may
be more self-effective and flexible in social interactions.
