7 Señales de que tu Bebé Ya Ha Decidido que Eres la Persona más Segura en su Mundo

This video explains the seven behavioral signs that demonstrate a baby has established a specific caregiver as their primary secure base, a central concept in attachment theory formulated by psychologist Mary Ainsworth in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. The video distinguishes the secure base from two other concepts with which it is often confused: the baby's favorite person, which reflects a variable preference, and trust, which involves a cognitive appraisal that a young baby cannot yet make. The secure base, instead, refers to the physiological and emotional regulation documented by the Strange Situation paradigm created by Ainsworth. The seven signs described are: stopping crying almost immediately when picked up by the primary attachment figure; more actively exploring the environment when that person is present in the room, even without direct interaction; falling asleep more quickly simply in their presence; recovering more quickly from frights or shocks when that person is nearby; looking for that person before reacting to new situations, a phenomenon called social referencing; They exhibit more regulated breathing and heart rate when held in your arms; and show clear resistance to being handed over to another person during stressful moments. The video cites specific research from three child development scientists. Megan Gunnar, from the University of Minnesota, documented differences in cortisol regulation and the stress response in infants depending on whether they are held by their primary attachment figure or another adult. Joseph Campos studied the phenomenon of social referencing using the visual cliff experiment, in which the infant's exploratory behavior depended on their mother's facial expression. Ruth Feldman, from Bar-Ilan University in Israel, investigated the biological synchrony between caregivers and infants, including the alignment of breathing and heart rate during close physical contact.
