Refer to the scenario below.

Scenario When Leo was born, his father, Mark, took a career break to stay at home as his primary caregiver. Leo's mother, Sarah, works demanding hours in the city and has very little involvement in his daily feeding and routine care. Leo is now ten months old and shows a strong, exclusive attachment to Mark.

Use learning theory to explain how Leo became attached to his father, Mark, rather than to his mother, Sarah.
