In Harlow's studies with young monkeys, the monkeys were exposed to a wire mother with a bottle and a cloth mother without a bottle. The young monkeys spent their non-feeding time:
A) with the wire mother.
B) with both mothers equally.
C) with the cloth mother.
D) away from both mothers.
Answer: C
Rationale: Harlow famously showed that infant monkeys deprived of maternal care clung compulsively to a piece of terrycloth wrapped around a cylinder of wire mesh that loosely resembled the body shape of an adult monkey. Infant monkeys spent much less time with an identical wire object that lacked the terrycloth, even though the infant's food was attached to it.
