Research • His research was centered around primate learning tests • He wanted to prove that primate research could make a significant contribution to the world of psychological research • Help the understanding of clinical issues not molecular in nature • Demonstrated the need for affection is greater than physical needs

  4. Experiment • Harlow’s initial experimentation dealt with infant monkeys separated from their mothers – used different surrogates • Wire surrogate could feed and warm the infant • Cloth surrogate provided comfort • Cloth surrogate was more often clung to by the infant

Conclusion • “These results led researchers to believe the need for closeness and affection goes deeper than a need for warmth” (Schultheis 7). • Monkeys raised by dummy mothers began to behave oddly when they were grown • Rocking back and forth • Misdirected aggression • Odd sexual behaviors • Negligent and abusive to childrent
