Psychological Theories on Affectional Bond - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 17 Affectional Bond/psychological theories: studies of early experience in rodents further qualified the nature of separations that can have enduring negative effects. Cf. >Affectional bond/Bowlby, >Behavior/Harlow, >Experiments/Harlow. Daily separations are a normal part of the developing attachment bond in humans and the young child’s ability to re-establish contact with the caregiver following separation is critical for the maintenance of the bond. This point was illustrated by Seymour Levine’s work with rodents. He developed an “early handling” paradigm in which it was discovered that rat pups who experienced brief 15-minute separations from their mothers performed better as adults in an avoidance learning paradigm than pups who had not been separated from their mothers (Suomi & Levine, 1998)(1). This finding illustrated how exposure to normally occurring or “intermittent stressors” early in development results in the development of effective coping strategies later in life. Levine’s early handling paradigm and the effects of intermittent stressors has consistently been replicated in both rodent and monkey models (Lyons et al., 2010)(2). >Animal models, >Animal studies. 1.
