Lack of stimulation, a sense of security, love, etc can have a detrimental effect on the child just as much as a lack of food. Before Bowlby, people believed all that was needed was physical care alone. 297978 https://padlet.com/297978/wyb1uajak8749ku3/wish/2515828584 2023-03-14 09:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/297978/wyb1uajak8749ku3/wish/2515828584 Bowlby's maternal deprivation study - 44 Thieves were compared with 44 Non-thieves from a delinquency centre.

After Burt’s death, striking anomalies in some of his test data led some scientists to reexamine his statistical methods. They concluded that Burt manipulated and probably falsified those IQ test results that most convincingly supported his theories on transmitted intelligence and social class.
