Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how disorganized attachment and poor maternal caregiving influence mother-infant shared attention, particularly during reunion episodes in the Strange Situation Procedure.
- At 12 months, mothers who struggled with communication initiated fewer joint attention bids by 18 months, and mothers of disorganized infants also initiated less communication.
- Despite these challenges, infants with disorganized attachments or disrupted mothers engaged in maternal bids for attention similarly to those from less risky backgrounds, indicating a strong innate drive to share experiences.
