Dr. Harris observed a group of toddlers during an assessment in a novel environment. He noted that the toddlers played independently with the new blocks, rarely checking back with their mothers. When the mothers left the room, the toddlers did not appear outwardly distressed, and upon the mothers' return, the toddlers ignored them or turned away when approached.
