My alternative explanation to the standard theory is that attachment pattern does not matter as much at the age of one year. This is because it has been proven that children retain very little memory of their memory, if any, at that age, and therefor it is far more important whether or not they are secure in the 3.5 years old plus category than it is for them to be secure at the age of one.
