How can age effect if the effects privation or deprivation can be reversed?
Age seems to be a significant factor as the younger the child is rehabilitated or placed into foster care, the better the outcomes in terms of reversing negative effects.
The Czech twins were discovered at the age of 6, but Genie was found at the age of 13, which may account for the recovery of the twins but why the extent to which Genie recovered was limited.
This can also explain why the Romanian orphans adopted before the age of 6 months recovered from their early privation compared to those adopted in the UK after the age of 6 months.
The length of the privation period seems to influence the extent to which early trauma can be reversed.
How do other attachments effect if the effects of privation or deprivation can be reversed?
A further factor that may explain why some children recover from privation better than others is the nature of their isolation.
The Bulldogs Bank children and the Czech twins had other attachment figures: transient adults or other children with whom bonds could be formed, Genie was held in almost complete isolation.
Again this could be a factor that explains why the negative effects Genie suffered were not reversible compared to other privated children.
How does the quality of attachment effect if the effects of privation or deprivation can be reversed?
The quality of care following a period of privation can also ameliorate negative effects caused by early trauma.
The Czech twins were cared for by 2 sisters who provided excellent emotional, social and intellectual support to aid their recovery.
And Hodges and Tizzard demonstrated that when children were adopted into loving families they recovered better than those restored to biological parents.
(This assumes that the bio parents may have been reluctant to have their child returned as they rated them less favourably than their children who had not been fostered.)
