Final answer:

Infants may exhibit separation anxiety, wanting only their mother when faced with unfamiliar people, reflecting stranger anxiety in their development.


Explanation:

Separation anxiety is the normal part of development exhibited by infants, where they may cry and only want their mother to hold them, as they fear unfamiliar people, known as Stranger anxiety. This behavior is attributed to the child being unable to assimilate the stranger into an existing schema, resulting in a fear response according to Piaget's view.
