What did psychologists harry and Margaret hallow attempt to do with lab experiments?
Harry and Margaret Harlow conducted experiments using infant rhesus monkeys to study social isolation and maternal attachment. They found that the monkeys preferred a soft cloth surrogate mother over a wire one that provided food, highlighting the importance of comfort and warmth in attachment relationships. Their studies revolutionized understanding of the role of early maternal care in emotional development.
Innate behaviors in monkeys?
Innate behaviors in monkeys include grooming, facial expressions, social hierarchies, and territorial displays. These behaviors are genetically programmed and do not need to be learned. They help monkeys communicate, establish social relationships, and survive in their natural environment.
Are monkeys dumb?
It is not accurate to categorize all monkeys as "dumb" as intelligence can vary among different species and individuals. Monkeys exhibit complex social behaviors, problem-solving skills, and tool usage, indicating a level of cognitive ability. Some species, such as capuchin monkeys, have been shown to display impressive problem-solving skills and the ability to understand abstract concepts. Therefore, it is important to consider the specific species and context when assessing the intelligence of monkeys.
Why are monkeys dumb?
Because>>>>they have no museles to protect their brain, Simple:)!
Did the monkey banana and water spray experiment ever take place?
The Monkey Banana and Water Spray Experiment The experiment is not real. A vaguely similar experiment by Stephenson (1966) is often quoted as if it supports the story, but it does not. The results of that real experiment do not in any way support the "herd mentality" moral of the story; in some cases, they actively contradicts it. This is how it is commonly told: "The Experiment- Part 1 5 monkeys are locked in a cage, a banana was hung from the ceiling and a ladder was placed right underneath it. As predicted, immediately, one of the monkeys would race towards the ladder, to grab the banana. However, as soon as he would start to climb, the researcher would spray the monkey with ice-cold water. but here's the kicker- In addition, he would also spray the other four monkeys. When a second monkey tried to climb the ladder, the researcher would, again, spray the monkey with ice-cold water, As well as the other four watching monkeys; This was repeated again and again until they learned their lesson Climbing equals scary cold water for EVERYONE so No One Climbs the ladder. The Experiment- Part 2 Once the 5 monkeys knew the drill, the researcher replaced one of the monkeys with a new inexperienced one. As predicted, the new monkey spots the banana, and goes for the ladder. BUT, the other four monkeys, knowing the drill, jumped on the new monkey and beat him up. The beat up new guy thus Learns- NO going for the ladder and No Banana Period- without even knowing why! and also without ever being sprayed with water! These actions get repeated with 3 more times, with a new monkey each time and ASTONISHINGLY each new monkey- who had never received the cold-water Spray himself (and didn't even know anything about it), would Join the beating up of the New guy. This is a classic example of Mob Mentality- bystanders and outsiders uninvolved with the fight- join in 'just because'. When the researcher replaced a third monkey, the same thing happened; likewise for the fourth until, eventually, all the monkeys had been replaced and none of the original ones are left in the cage (that had been sprayed by water). The Experiment- Part 3 Again, a new monkey was introduced into the cage. It ran toward the ladder only to get beaten up by the others. The monkey turns with a curious face asking "why do you beat me up when I try to get the banana?" The other four monkeys stopped and looked at each other puzzled (None of them had been sprayed and so they really had no clue why the new guy can't get the banana) but it didn't matter, it was too late, the rules had been set. And So, although they didn't know WHY, they beat up the monkey just because " that's the way we do things around here" There is no evidence that that this experiment ever took place. An experiment was done in 1966 that involved pairs of monkeys but the results are irrelevant to the above story. Some of the results actually contradict the story: in some pairs, the new monkey behaved so fearlessly around the object that the first monkey learned to lose their fear of it altogether.

What was psychologist Harry Harlow known for?

What conclusions did Dr Harry Harlow draw about contact comfort?
Dr. Harry Harlow's research on contact comfort with monkeys concluded that social and emotional factors, such as the need for comfort and security, played a significant role in attachment formation, beyond just the provision of food. He found that the monkeys preferred a soft, comforting surrogate mother over a wire one that provided food, demonstrating the importance of contact comfort in nurturing social development and relationships.

What did the Harlow monkey experiment demonstrate?
The Harlow monkey experiment, conducted by psychologist Harry Harlow in the 1950s, demonstrated the importance of comfort and emotional support in the development of attachment. Harlow used rhesus monkeys and provided them with two surrogate mothers: one made of wire that provided food and another covered in soft cloth that offered comfort. The monkeys overwhelmingly preferred the cloth mother, seeking her for comfort even when not feeding, highlighting the significance of nurturing and emotional bonds over mere physical sustenance in developing healthy relationships. This experiment profoundly influenced understanding of attachment theory and the emotional needs of infants.
