- 1Case study of when effects of Privation AND institutional care CAN be reversed HINT: Gardner- Deprivational DwarfismA girl was born with a malfunction so she was fed through a tube. Out of fear, her mother never held her. At 8 months she went to hospital for treatment where the nurses cuddled her. She returned to normal despite no change in her diet.
- 2Case study where effects of privation CAN be reversed HINT: Bowlby et al/ Rutter et al- Czech twinsThe twins were not looked after and at 7 could not talk. However when they turned 14 they could and by 20 had an above average IQ. However it is argued that they formed attachment with each other.

At 16, 'restored' children did not bond with parents, adopted children did, and ex-institutionalised children had problems with peers. - 4Evidence that the effects of privation AND institutional care CANNOT be reversed HINT: Rutter et al- Romanian OrphansStudied 100 orphans when aged 4, 6, and 11.
