Document Summary
Sensory stimuli is therefore the basis for the formation of the infant-caregiver (or in this case, mother) bond. he key purpose of attachment is to keep the caregiver close to the infant to ensure their needs are met for survival. Satisfying the infant"s basic needs through providing food and warmth underpins the formation of this first bond. Contact comfort more powerful contributor to the attachment. Similar to the development of gross motor skills in infancy and early childhood (that we discussed last week. ), the physical changes that occur during adolescence occur at roughly the same age for each individual. There are distinct stages of development within adolescence known as the "tanner stages" . According to tanner (1978), puberty peaks for girls at around age 12 while it peaks for boys at around age 14. Other factors may include exposure to chemicals that interfere with the functioning of hormones.
