Abstract
Consider the following vignette:
Brian, an 8-month-old infant, crawled briskly into his family’s living room and stopped when he reached the middle of the floor. He paused to scan, with a sober expression, the faces of the unfamiliar adults surrounding him until he viewed his mother’s smiling demeanor, at which time he broke into an animated grin and an explosive cackle. During the next half hour, Brian played happily at his mother’s feet while adult conversation continued. On one occasion, his mother left the room briefly to prepare refreshments. When he later looked up to discover his mother missing, Brian’s happy play deteriorated into anguished sobs until his mother returned. It took a few additional minutes of comfort before he was ready to return to play again. At the end of the meeting, one of the adults stooped down to Brian and asked cheerily, “How ya doin’, big fella?” Brian looked up at him with a serious expression for a moment. Then he turned to his mother with loud sobs.
