- Harlow's Monkeys AGAINST LEARNING THOERY
- Aims
- To see how baby rhesus monkey would react when taken from mothers and given surrogate mothers
- Procedure
- Monkeys given a cloth mother and a wire mother
- In one group the wire mother had the food and in the other the cloth mother did
- They used a frightening stimulus to see how they'd react
- They moved them into an unfamiliar room some with cloth mother others without
- Findings
- Young monkeys clung to cloth mother if provided food or not. Only went to wire for food
- When scared ran to cloth mother for comfort and protction
- When in unfamiliar room with cloth clung to cloth mother until comfortable to explore
- When in unfamiliar room without cloth mother: freeze in fear, cry, crouch down, **** thumb some would search
- Conclusions
- Monkeys who were raised by wire mother had harder time digesting the milk and had diarrhoea
- Not having contact comfort was psychologically stressful
- The need for comfort was stronger than the need to explore
- Monkeys who were raised by wire mother had harder time digesting the milk and had diarrhoea
- Aims
