Experiments such as Harlow’s monkey study of 1958 is a weakness of the Learning theory as it opposes the idea of learning theory as an explanation of attachment. Harlow’s monkey study saw how monkeys reacted to replacement mothers depending on their material (cloth or wire). Learning theory suggests that the monkey should’ve spent more time on the mother that gave them food (the wire monkey)‚ however the monkey would spend the majority of his time on the comfort monkey (the cloth monkey). This decreases the

Experiment He separated baby monkeys from their mothers and used a wire mother- covered in soft cloth- with a nipple with milk- as a mother substitute for the baby. One day a baby monkey took a poop on the fake mother and

Parma‚ Italy‚ a lab monkey awaited its researchers’ return from lunch. The researchers had implanted wires next to its motor cortex‚ in a frontal lobe brain region that enabled the monkey to plan and enact movements.

GOAL Harry Harlow‚ an American Psychologist‚ was developing the Wisconsin General Testing Apparatus to study aspects of mental processes of primates. As he developed his tests‚ he realized the monkeys he was working with were “learning new strategies around his initial tests” (article 2). Harlow was very confused as to why this was occurring‚ so he decided to study developing primates away from their biological mothers in a nursing setting and examine the premature behaviors and relationships
