What did harry harlow learn from the rhesus monkeys?
A
Without comfort children become hostile
B
Children become caring
C
Children are happier
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Harlow also observed that monkeys raised with real mothers and other monkey playmates grew into happy, secure adults, which led to the Harry Harlow theory concerning social development. Monkeys with mothers and no playmates, however, became fearful and aggressive.

Detailed explanation-2: -His work demonstrated the devastating effects of deprivation on young rhesus monkeys. Harlow’s research revealed the importance of a caregiver’s love for healthy childhood development.

Detailed explanation-3: -When only the wire mother had food, the babies came to the wire mother to feed and immediately returned to cling to the cloth surrogate. Harlow’s work showed that infants also turned to inanimate surrogate mothers for comfort when they were faced with new and scary situations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Harlow’s first observation was that monkeys who had a choice of mothers spent far more time clinging to the terry cloth surrogates, even when their physical nourishment came from bottles mounted on the bare wire mothers. This suggested that infant love was no simple response to the satisfaction of physiological needs.
