- Bowlby's Maternal Deprivation
- If separated from mother's love in first year of life, you will suffer major emotional/intellectual deprivation
- Combination of monotropy + critical period
- From studies mainly done on children raised in orphanages
- 30 months = critical period
- Goldfarb studied 15 children raised in orphanage + IQs were 72 (average is 100)
- Control group - children placed straight into foster care - had IQs of 95
- Bowlby interviewed 44 criminal teenagers for signs of affectionless psychopathy
- 12 of 14 identified as affectionless psychopaths had prolonged separations from their mother
- Bowlby conducted interviews himself; bias because he knew what he was looking to find
- Koluchova twins had good later relationships
- If separated from mother's love in first year of life, you will suffer major emotional/intellectual deprivation
