- some became very aggressive towards each other
- later found that these negative effects could be reduced by 'therapist' monky
- case studies of children being kept in isolation - more information

- Genie was found kept in a cage for 13 years due to her dad
- she was not exposed to any language or heard any verbal communication for these 13 years
- Genie only visited her when they gave her food -boiled egg and baby food
- despite her best efforts she did not learn full language or any cognitive development
- Genie also was shown to have learning difficulties before she was isolated
- Therefore it was impossible to know whether the privation caused her difficulties,
- Genie also was shown to have learning difficulties before she was isolated

- the twins had each other this makes differs from the others as they had social contact
