        It’s amazing how close you can live to the Great Lakes and still have your ground water drain to the gulf.

                https://www.gottman.com/blog/research-still-face-experiment/

                Dr. Edward Tronick of UMass Boston’s Infant-Parent Mental Health Program conducts research on how mothers’ depression and other stressful behaviors affect the emotional development and health of infants and children. Jason Goldman published Thoughtful Animal about Tronick’s 1975 experiment, the impact it had in understanding child development, and how it’s being used, including to predict child behavior:

                In 1975, Edward Tronick and colleagues first presented the “Still Face Experiment” to colleagues at the biennial meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development. He described a phenomenon in which an infant, after three minutes of “interaction” with a non-responsive expressionless mother, “rapidly sobers and grows wary. He makes repeated attempts to get the interaction into its usual reciprocal pattern. When these attempts fail, the infant withdraws [and] orients his face and body away from his mother with a withdrawn, hopeless facial expression.” It remains one of the most replicated findings in developmental psychology.

                Once the phenomenon had been thoroughly tested and replicated, it became a standard method for testing hypotheses about person perception, communication differences as a result of gender or cultural differences, individual differences in attachment style, and the effects of maternal depression on infants. The still-face experiment has also been used to investigate cross-cultural differences, deaf infants, infants with Down syndrome, cocaine-exposed infants, autistic children, and children of parents with various psychopathologies, especially depression.

                        According to Geldof, he wrote the song after reading a telex report[8] at Georgia State University's campus radio station, WRAS, on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children in a school playground at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California, on 29 January 1979, killing two adults and injuring eight children and one police officer.

                          According to Wiki she said “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day”.

                          Where now?

                          She remains imprisoned at the California Institution for Women in Chino. Her next opportunity for a parole hearing will be in 2025.
