The experiment I will explore is the Harry Harlow Experiment. Harlow's theme of his experiment aimed at the ideal of attachment between animals; humans and apes. The need and different types of attachments. Harlow focused on how it affects the brain both negatively and positively based on individual variables and differences. Harlow conducted experiments on baby monkeys to see how their behavior would develop if they did not have the influence of a mother monkey. Harlow placed the baby monkeys in different cages that contained a wire mother and a cloth mother. These items represented the touch of a real monkey mother. Observing the behavior of the monkeys, Harlow noticed that there were things similar to those of children, such as social withdrawal. Harlow did many tests and in one he found that the hormone levels in some of the isolated monkeys were much higher than those of the unseparated monkeys. In the match, some growth hormone levels were lower in many of the isolated monkeys and higher in the normal ones. Harlow observed the monkeys throughout their lives, including growing from adolescent to adult, to see what kind of vibrations they emitted. in the social environment as adults. Harlow noticed that the monkeys were behaving very strangely. They demonstrated no normal reproductive activity, and many females bred to become very poor mothers and did not attempt to care for or even protect their offspring. While studying the monkeys Harlow noticed that there was an intense attachment to the blanket. He noticed that the monkeys appreciated the comfort of the blanket. This can be noted as a maternal connection. The blanket is obviously not that of the monkey's mother, but the touch and comfort it gives is similar... middle of paper... de disrespectful to other children around him, however this will easily change if he starts to spend more time with his peers. Another example is a prison, this is the place where many people have gone crazy and become unstable due to the lack of social evolution. Many times, when these people are reintroduced into society, they fail to function properly and start making the same mistakes again. To summarize, it is important for us to maintain a bond with others like us, human ape, whatever that may be. By having that bond we gain self-confidence and have confidence to move forward in life. Because the monkeys having that security kept them from going crazy and gave them some peace of mind. Growing up we especially need our mothers to guide us and be there for us, so when we are alone we can function properly in society.
