I relate the study with the baby's from the orphanage that were fed formula
in two groups: one with a wire caretaker and no interaction/touch and the
other with a human caretaker and how the ones that were not touched had
failure to thrive in even died, while the other group grew well.
I might have a bad memory, but this seems like a conflation of two studies:
1. Harry Harlow's monkeys where they had a wire mom with a bottle and monkey
formula, and a cloth mom without, and the monkey babes would clutch the
cloth mom as much as possible and only go to the wire mom when they were flat out
hungry, then back to the cloth one again for touch comfort, and 2. the
Eastern European orphanage where they realized that the babies closest to the
door, who got little hellos or whatever as staff walked by in addition to their
bottles, were surviving better than the ones away from the door at the other
end, who got formula but minimal/no interaction.
Comments?
Peace,
