For the first few lectures‚ I found the topic about development of human life span to be interesting‚ and I would like to write something about my observation of my three-year-old and five-year-old cousins.

John Bowlby (1907 - 1990) was a psychoanalyst (like Freud) and believed that mental health and behavioral problems could be attributed to early childhood. Bowlby’s evolutionary theory of attachment suggests that children come into the world biologically pre-programmed to form attachments with others‚ because this will help them to survive. Bowlby was very much influenced by ethological theory in general‚ but especially by Lorenz’s (1935) study of imprinting. Lorenz showed that attachment was

attachment theory supports this argument and implies that an infant becoming attached is essential to human development. As suggested by Bowlby‚ a child’s earliest experiences determine their ability in creating an Internal Working Model‚ (IWM). An inability to do so can be detrimental to later development‚ consequently causing resistant or avoidant attachment types (Ainsworth) and long-term developmental issues‚ i.e.‚ anxieties and not knowing what to expect from primary caregivers.
