Human Growth and Development CLEP Test 2025 – 400 Free Practice Questions to Pass the Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What type of attachment develops when infants form a bond with a single caregiver?

Broad Attachment

Biometric Attachment

Secure Attachment

Secure attachment is the type of attachment that develops when an infant forms a bond with a single caregiver. This term was coined by psychologist Mary Ainsworth, who studied the relationship between mother and child. In contrast, broad attachment refers to forming bonds with multiple caregivers, which is incorrect in this context. Biometric attachment refers to the physical connection between a mother and her child, which is not the same as an emotional bond. Lastly, multiple attachment is when an infant forms bonds with more than one caregiver, while secure attachment means having one consistent caregiver. Multiple attachment is not the correct answer as the question specifically states a bond with a single caregiver.
