Using the "Still Face" Experiment, in which a mother denies her baby attention for a short period of time, director of UMass Boston's Infant-Parent Mental Health Program Ed Tronick describes how prolonged lack of attention can move an infant from good socialization, to periods of bad but repairable socialization. In "ugly" situations the child does not receive any chance to return to the good, and may become stuck.
