Describe the experiments performed by Harlow to investigate attachment in infant monkeys. What was the significant finding from his work?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should explain the groups used in the research and the observed results, as well as specifically addressing the issue of contact comfort. Infants were separated from their mothers and raised with 2 types of surrogates: wire mesh and cloth. Food was available from one of the two surrogates. Even when the wire surrogate provided food, infants spent the most time with the cloth mother. When a feared stimulus was introduced into the cage, infants went to the cloth mother. Contact comfort was more important to the infants than which mother provided food.
