• 13thstepper posted 4 months ago rate it: good poor the wire monkeys had the bottle, the terrycloth monkeys didn't, "What exactly did Harlow see that convinced him emotional attachment made a decisive developmental difference? When the experimental subjects were frightened by strange, loud objects, such as teddy bears beating drums, monkeys raised by terry cloth surrogates made bodily contact with their mothers, rubbed against them, and eventually calmed down." a duuhhh reply

• SuPaFly43218 posted 3 weeks ago rate it: good poor Hey, I just wanted to post something on this because we had to discuss this in my psychology classes when I was a psych major. The experiment was to show that a baby DOESN'T need something that resembled a mother, but instead simply something that was comforting. This was to prove the fact that children do not need mothers, only something comfortable. The baby monkey was raised with the wire mesh and NEVER saw the soft one. Then one day, when creating a scary stimuli to the monkey, they introduced the soft cloth monkey next to the wire one. Most research would suggest that the monkey would have went to the wire monkey because the baby grew up with that one and ONLY knew of that one. Instead, it ran up to the very unfamiliar cloth monkey simply because it was softer. reply
