Which one of the following statements about Rutter's longitudinal study of Romanian orphans (the English and Romanian Adoptees study) is true?

Researchers used a laboratory experiment design where they randomly assigned children to different lengths of institutional stay.

Intellectual development assessed at age 11 showed no significant difference between those adopted before 6 months and those adopted after 2 years.
