Spitz's study found that half of the children in the orphanage were denied social interaction, whereas children in the nursery for incarcerated mothers had regular interaction with their mothers. The study showed that social interaction is crucial for child development and lack of it can have negative effects on a child's physical and mental health. The study did not mention anything about denial of nutritious food or warmth, and it is unclear what is meant by "natural sound."
