Beschreibung:
<p>A small sample of children in western Kenya, studied first in infancy and again at age five, was tested in order to ascertain whether mother-holding in infancy continued to predict affective and cognitive outcomes at age 12, as had been the case at age five. Results indicated that (1) positive affective outcomes at age 12 were associated with frequency of mother-holding, but with no other measure of care in infancy; (2) cognitive performance at age 12 was unrelated to mother-holding in infancy; and (3) for most of the affective measures, though not for the cognitive measures, performance at age 12 was related to earlier test performance at age five. Discussion centered on plausible bases for the findings as well as on methodological concerns that raise threats to the interpretation.</p>
