Maternal Deprivation:

This alternative rearing technique led to some of the best known experiments

Monkeys

It was Harlows Experiments that gave strong support to Bowlby (1969) and his belief of the Importance of love and Mother/child interaction.

Harlow 'cultivated' infant monkeys in isolation for upto 24 months.

The poor creatures emerged intensely disturbed and there are links showing the increase in the 'Animal liberation movement' in the USA following on from these experiments.

Inanimate Surrogate Mothers

The Need for Comfort....

Harlow concluded that the Mother/Infant relationship was much more than just a need for Milk.

He believed that the psychological development and health of infant monkeys and children requires 'contact comfort

Harlow was an American psychologist best known for his controversial Maternal-seperation Experiments.

wire shapes or

wooden shapes.

Some were cloth covered.

More Experiments.....
