Brain research was performed on a girl named Genie in the 1970s. Why was she chosen as a subject of study?

Genie was studied because she had been severely neglected and isolated during most of her early childhood, with very little human contact or language exposure. Researchers hoped to learn how this deprivation affected language and development. The correct choice is “She suffered extreme neglect and had little social interaction for the majority of her early life.”
