  • Attachment can be disrupted by separation or deprivation
  • Separation = Child is away from caregiver they're attached to, relatively short amount of time
  • Deprivation = loss of something that is wanted or needed, more long-term and permenant
  • Effects of disruption can be reversed
  • Skeels and Dye found children who were socially deprived during their first two years of life improved their IQ scores if they were transferred to a school where they got one-to-one care
