Solution
The rhesus monkeys in the 1950s experiment clung to the soft terry-cloth surrogate. This experiment was conducted by psychologist Harry Harlow. Despite the wire-mesh surrogate providing food, the monkeys showed a preference for the soft, comforting terry-cloth surrogate, demonstrating that comfort and security were more important to the monkeys than food. This experiment helped to highlight the importance of comfort and security in the development of attachment.
