Does anyone know the name of this monkey or experiment? It’s kind of harrowing seeing the expression on its face. It looks desperate for affection to the point of dissociation.
Here’s a video for context https://youtu.be/-Qi7txH1KzY
The context makes it even more heartbreaking.
Absolute horror.
The experiment was done by harry harlow, but I don’t think the name of the monkey was given, could have just been a number :(
Thank you so much. I’ve found a Wikipedia page on him and his research so I’ll give it a read. The poor money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow
