In chapter IV, the authors focused on their findings on the developmental course of deprivation-specific psychological patterns (DSPs).

Rutter, Michael; O'Connor, Thomas G. – Developmental Psychology, 2004
Associations between experiences and outcomes could be due to (a) continuation of adversity or (b) organismic changes, including experience-expectant and experience-adaptive developmental programming.

Cognitive outcomes at age 11 of 131 Romanian adoptees from institutions were compared with 50 U.K. adopted children. Key findings were of both continuity and change: (1) marked adverse effects persisted at age 11 for many of the children who were over 6 months on arrival; (2) there was some catch-up between ages 6 and 11 for the bottom 15%; (3)…

Roy, Penny; Rutter, Michael; Pickles, Andrew – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2004
