- Explanation: Learning Theory
- Classical conditioning: attachment is learned through repeated association (a.k.a cupboard love)
- Operant conditioning: learning to repeat a behaviour or not, depending on consequences
- Hunger creates drive to be fed; milk=primary reinforcer, mum=secondary reinforcer
- Harlow found monkeys chose comfort over food
- Schaffer + Emerson found babies also attached to those who didn't feed them
