Harry Harlow was a primate researcher and experimental psychologist. In the primate lab that he created with his Ph.D. students, Harlow began studying a group of three organ grinder’s monkeys. In those times, monkeys were expensive to maintain and to bring to the lab. The three monkeys formed Maslow’s dominance hierarchies: Capuchin was the first monkey, Cinnamon was the second monkey, and Red was the third monkey. Because Red was the lower hierarchical monkey, he needed to steal his own food back from capuchin. At one point, cinnamon started to yell for capuchin; at the same time, red obtain a stick. He struck cinnamon and capuchin. Red neither was unaware of what the stick was used for nor did he know how to use it. Harlow was fascinated …show more content…
At the same time, his wife, Clara, was expecting a child. After the birth of his child, Harry used most of his hour cherishing the little baby boy. But that was until Goldstein initiated his lectures. Goldstein mentioned that monkeys were at a lower level of intelligence compared to humans, and that these monkeys would never accomplish abstract reason or anything complicated. According to Goldstein, humans were the only species that could attain analytical intelligence. Harlow disagrees with that statement because of the experience he encountered with Red. Harlow needs to figure out a way for the monkey to acquire more. He created the Wisconsin General test apparatus where they had to complete the challenge to obtain another tray with a treat on it. Unable to afford more monkeys, Harlow began rotating he already had. The monkeys were making fast education decisions; as a result, they appeared as genius. In his second test, he began to test out the relation of the object and not the shape. This requires the new monkeys to analyze the relationship between the objects. The monkeys have also risen to the situation. Thus, the monkeys continued to gain more and more
In Harlow’s rhesus monkey experiment, Harlow placed monkeys in separate cages to isolate them, or leave alone without any interaction. In the cages with the monkeys, he placed a cloth. The monkeys laid on the cloths. When Harlow replaced the cloth, the
Due to Robert Henry we know that monkeys are capable of taking an IQ test. The monkeys got 30 points witch is high. the monkeys
One study attempted to observe capuchin monkey’s ability to recognize cause and effect relationship in regards to tool use. An article in the international journal or primatology by Anthea Lavallee, describes the tests she conducted in a captive naturalistic environment on capuchin monkeys, as she writes, “I tested tufted capuchins' ability to conceive solutions to a probing task in a naturalistic captive setting” . The results showed at 3 out of the 5 capuchin monkeys displayed an ability to make and use tools that were presented to them from a wide variety of natural materials presented. Another study on the manipulation and tool use in captive yellow breasted capuchin monkeys was published in the “International Journal of Comparative Psychology” . This experiment consisted of six capuchin monkeys, who were placed in an environment where their tool using was tested and observed. The tools that were made available to the monkeys were transparent 9mm Plexiglas boxes with 3mm Plexiglas lids as well as different size stones. A piece of food was then placed into the box with the stones next to it and left for the capuchins. Each test subject was left isolated with the tools and box from the other test subjects, the subjects where successful if they used the stones to try and
David Kherdian’s novel Monkey: A Journey to the West, begins with the creation story of Monkey. On the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, a magic stone is fertilized by the seeds of Heaven and Earth and is impregnated by divine inspiration. Following the embryonic stages of development, a stone egg is revealed. The stone egg instantly undergoes a physical transformation. “Once the egg was exposed to the elements, the wind soon transformed it into a stone monkey, complete in every way in all aspects of its being”(Kherdian 1). The stone monkey soon comes to life, explores his surroundings, and makes friends with other monkeys and other mammals. Monkey and his friends fool around in the forest and spot a curtain of water flowing from a waterfall.

In the beginning of the play, the authors try to lead us into the topic of Darwinism versus Creationism. One instance was when the character Howard actually told Melinda "Your old man's a monkey!"(5) The audience also learns that the accused lawbreaker,
In 1925, the Scopes "Monkey" Trial captured national interest and the infamous moniker "Trial of the Century" due to William Jennings Bryan serving as part of the prosecution and Clarence Darrow serving as defense counsel to John Scopes with the social divide between science and religion serving as the backdrop, a controversy that has persisted to the modern day. William Jennings Bryan(henceforth Bryan) was well-known to the American people for his political involvement with the Democrat party and his passionate speeches as a Presbyterian. In contrast, Clarence Darrow(henceforth Darrow) was well known for his work as an attorney regarding labor law issues and his work as a defense attorney during the Franks murder trial, a trial that was also called the "Trial of the Century", where he defended Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. Between the involvement of these two titanic public figures, the social divide between science and religion only served to stoke the flames of public interest even further. In order to understand why the Scopes “Monkey” Trial was given the infamous moniker “Trial of the Century” and why it captured national interest, I have to discuss the historical context of society's belief
According to the Harlow’s monkey experiment showing to us, that how the attached our relationship as the humans between an infants and parents. This experiment teach us to how healthy relationship parents needs to develop and maintains with children so in the future they do not feel insecure attachment. Based on an experiment, every human being and different types of animals always need a love, comfort, warmth from every relationship. Some people can lives without foods some weeks or several months but those people are given most importance to the human psychology behaviors like thought, feelings, attitudes and values between the children and parents. For example, new born baby already have strong biologically, psychology and physically bonds
Harry Harlow’s thorough research on the connection between maternal comfort and rhesus monkeys provides information and knowledge to the reader as an insight into our social and emotional development. In this article, Harlow uses experimental observation of mental and emotional associations of the affectionate ties between the child and the mother. As Harlow says, this is “an instinct incapable of analysis”.
In Harlow's experiments, the baby monkeys would be put into a strange new room and when they had their mothers
In his drunken self-conscience the truth was released. He began to fathom the underlying details that he couldn’t pick up from his time with the monkeys earlier. Still trying to hold on to thoughts put into his mind, “He mistook each infant monkey for a beloved soul. In that way the nightmare was confusing” (Millet 314). As you can see it is still in his conception not to believe himself that what he was doing was wrong. This is a battle between his self-conscience and what he was taught to believe. Finally, actuality kicked in, “He saw each infant in the heart of its mother, precious, unique, held so close because the mother was willing to die for it.” (314). What Harlow saw was the absolute certainty of what his inner being was desperately attempting to communicate to him. It was that he was wrong. The test subjects before him were real living things just like himself.
Monkey, from the retelling of Monkey: A Journey to the West by David Kherdian, is quite obviously a rash and brutish character, occasionally even coming across as childish. Though he seeks immortality and enlightenment, he approaches his journey to becoming a Buddha in a much more violent and dismissive way than what might be expected. Unlike most heroes, Monkey often relies on violence to get him through his many trials. He is the embodiment of fight over flight, which makes his character's journey stand out so much. Then, there is Tripitaka, Monkey’s master/mentor.
Have an interesting experiment explain what response when monkeys encounter inequality treatment. Experimenters prepare two different foods, cucumbers and grapes, and two monkeys. Those monkeys had been training to do a simple work, after they pass a pebble the experimenter will give a piece of cucumber or a grape to those monkeys. First time when monkeys done their job, experimenter give both of them a piece of cucumber, they accept the cucumber and seem feel happy. Second time when monkeys done their job, experimenter give a monkey grape and another one give cucumber, in this time that monkey who get cucumber one is very wrath.
In 1988 at the University of Zurich, Eduard Stammbach set up an experiment with long tailed macaque monkeys to determine if they were able to rein aggressive behavior and act cooperatively. Subgroups of monkeys were created, and the lowest ranking monkey was taught to press a set of levers in a specific sequence that caused a machine to deliver popcorn. The high-ranking monkeys noticed the low ranking monkeys’ unique skills. The high-ranking monkeys soon began grabbing all the popcorn. Before long the low ranking monkeys stopped operating the machine. This did not last long because the higher-ranking monkeys began to change their behavior. The higher-ranking monkeys began to approach the lower ranking monkeys more peacefully, and allowed the lower ranking monkeys a share of the popcorn. Furthermore some higher-ranking monkeys began to groom the lower monkeys even when the machine was inoperative.
