Understanding Developmental Psychology Through Jamie's Experiences

Jamie, a 10-month-old infant, is attending a family gathering for the first time. As Jamie's parents introduce him to various relatives, they notice that he becomes increasingly clingy and agitated when passed to unfamiliar aunts and uncles, crying until he is returned to his parents. Throughout the event, Jamie plays peek-a-boo with his older cousin, showing delight when his cousin reappears from behind his hands. At one point, Jamie's favorite toy rolls under a table, out of his sight. He initially seems to forget about the toy, but after a few minutes, he begins to crawl around, searching until he finds it. Jamie's parents also observe that he has recently started to crawl more proficiently, pulling himself up to stand with support, and is generally less distracted by minor noises and activities around him.

Based on the scenario described, how is Jamie using each of the following concepts during the family gathering?

a1. Object permanence
b1- Maturation
c1. Stranger Anxiety

Later in the day, Jamie's grandmother, whom he sees infrequently, offers to hold him. Jamie is hesitant at first but eventually allows her to pick him up without crying. As the hours pass, Jamie becomes more comfortable with the new faces around him and even begins to show signs of recognizing and trusting some of his relatives. He is particularly drawn to his grandfather, who has spent the day playing with him and ensuring his needs are met. Jamie's parents are pleased to see him reaching for his grandfather, indicating a desire to be held by him. They also note that Jamie's ability to explore the environment has improved, as he confidently moves around the room, showing curiosity and a desire to interact with his surroundings.

How do each of the following concepts explain Jamie's behavior later in the day?

a2. Secure attachment
b2. Habituation
c2. Trust vs. Mistrust
