How was Harlow able to dispel the theory that attachment relationships between mothers and children were based entirely on reinforcement rather than the existence of a true emotional bond? A By giving the monkeys a choice of being with a real monkey mother or a substitute, artificial mother.
B By placing monkeys in situations where painful stimuli could only be terminated by making physical contact with a “mother” in the same cage.
C By showing that monkeys would be more interested in contact comfort than other forms of essential reinforcement.
D He actually was unable to dispel this theory. Harlow’s work failed to separate the importance of reinforcement from other factors in attachment formation.
