How did Harry Harlow’s experiments with rhesus monkeys refute the view that infants love their mothers because of the nourishment they receive?
What will be an ideal response?
Using two wire-mesh “surrogate” mothers, Harlow conducted a series of studies to investigate the mother-infant bond. One of the wire-mesh monkey mothers had a feeding tube attached to its chest so the infant monkey could obtain nourishment from it. The other surrogate mother had no tube but was covered with a soft, terry-cloth material. When frightened, the infant monkeys sought the comfort of the terry-cloth covered monkey, not the one with the feeding tube. Harlow concluded it was the feeling of warmth rather than the nourishment that the infants sought. This, he argued, was the nature of love.
